Malaysia 2024 MotoGP FP1 Results: Francesco Bagnaia Fastest

JAKARTA The defending MotoGP champion, Francesco Bagnaia, managed to get out as the fastest in the first free practice session (FP1) of the 2024 Malaysian Grand Prix.

The rider who defended the Ducati Lenovo Team secured a time of 1 minute 58.795 seconds at the Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia, on Friday, November 1, 2024, morning WIB.

Bagnaia, who is in danger of losing its title this season, recorded an advantage of +0.743 seconds from Aprilia Racing's Maverick Vinales, who trailed in second place.

Following the two names in third place was Marco Bezzecki. The racer from Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team is +1.053 seconds adrift of his compatriot Bagnaia.

Two names in a row after that to complete the top five are Jack Miller and rookie Pedrodeca. Meanwhile, the leader of the drivers' standings Jorge Martin is in sixth place.

Martin, who has the opportunity to lock up the world title in Sepang, is also very unlikely to materialize, far behind Bagnaia by a time difference of +1.647 seconds.

Then, the seventh to 10th consecutive positions were occupied by Alex Marquez, Fabio Quartararo, Andrea Iannone, and Augusto Fernandez.
