Jorge Martin topped MotoGP World Championship Free Practice One (FP1) Friday morning at Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Piloting his Prima Pramac Racing Ducati, the Spaniard ripped up the 3.4-mile (5.5 km) road course in 1:59.513, which not only led the field of 23 riders it was quicker than Martin’s own Race Lap Record of 1:59.634 from 2022.

Alex Marquez was second-best with a 1:59.562 on his Gresini Racing Ducati, and Martin’s teammate Johann Zarco made it a Ducati sweep of the top three spots with a 1:59.914.

The quickest non-Ducati rider was Franco Morbidelli, who turned a fourth-fastest 2:00.055 on his Monster Energy Yamaha YZR-M1.
