Ducati once again led a free practice session with a triplet on a circuit of long and endless straights like Buriram, but Marc Márquez was the positive surprise this Friday of the Thai GP by authoring the best time in FP1, which was dry, and finishing sixth in the afternoon in FP2 to finish fourth in the combined, the best of the others in a day that is finally, for MotoGP It was in a dry condition.
Contrary to what was predicted, the first two sessions for the MotoGP in Buriram were on dry asphalt, but not the morning session for the two small categories, but because of the uncertainty they took advantage of the dry windows to make the adjustments time attack, both in the morning as in the Thai afternoon. If in Japan Marc was seen at the top of the table in FP2 and in Q2, both in water, in FP1 in Thailand it was dry although there were traces of water like the one that caused him a crash in turn 3 at the beginning of session by stepping on a wet piano.
Then, in FP2, Ducati pocketed the extra gear it had all year in a clean dry corner with Johann Zarco at the front (1’30″281) ahead of Pecco Bagnaia by 18 thousandths and Jorge Martín by 190 and they are behind the combined Marc Márquez at 0″242 with his test in the morning time.
They completed the top-10 giving access to Q2 Quartararo, Miller, Marini, Oliveira, Rins and Morbidelli leaving Bastianini by 25 thousandths.
