2025 Valencia MotoGP – Friday Practice Results

Friday practice results from the 2025 Valencia MotoGP at the Ricardo Tormo circuit, round 22 of 22.

Updated: 14 Nov 2025

Jack Miller fits fresh tyres to put Pramac Yamaha fastest at the end of FP1 for the 2025 Valencia MotoGP season finale.

Title runner-up Alex Marquez topped the timesheets for most of the 45-minutes, using the same set of tyres, until Miller put a new set of mediums and jumped from 14th to 1st by half a second.

Others also put fresh rubber and the session ended with Miller 0.323s ahead of rookie Ai Ogura. HRC wild-card Aleix Espargaro and Raul Fernandez completed the top four.

Franco Morbidelli in fifth kept old rubber to eventually get the better of Alex Marquez. 

Augusto Fernandez began his third weekend on the Yamaha V4 in in tenth, after also putting new rubber. Fernandez has a new frame to try this weekend, but the engine is the same.

Marco Bezzecchi and Francesco Bagnaia made a low key start to the weekend, but stuck to the same rear medium tyre.

Maverick Vinales and Jorge Martin made their return from injuries in 19th and 24th, respectively.

Brad Binder, whose 2026 crew chief Phil Marron was present as an observer in the KTM pit box this morning, was the first faller of the weekend.

Rookie of the Year Fermin Aldeguer then fell in the final five minutes.
Most riders used the soft front and medium rear tyre options this morning. Nicolo Bulega was a notable exception, trying some laps on the hard front.

The session was delayed due to accidents in the Moto2 session caused by water on the track at Turn 6.

Practice, which will decide the top ten places for direct Qualifying 2 access, starts at 3:00pm.

Official Valencia MotoGP Records:

Best lap: Maverick Vinales, Aprilia, 1m 28.931s (2023)

Fastest race lap: Brad Binder, KTM, 1m 30.145s (2023)

Outgoing world champion Jorge Martin is returning from his collarbone fracture in Japan to take part in only his eighth grand prix of an injury-ruined season.

The Aprilia rider will serve a double long-lap penalty on Sunday for causing the Motegi Sprint accident with team-mate Marco Bezzecchi.

Tech3 KTM’s Maverick Vinales is making his latest comeback from mid-season shoulder surgery after missing the last four rounds.

Raul Fernandez is also returning to action after a partial shoulder dislocation last Friday at Portimao. Aleix Espargaro is competing as a wild-card for Honda.

Double WorldSBK title runner-up Nicolo Bulega is riding in his second MotoGP event in place of injured world champion Marc Marquez at the factory Ducati team.

Augusto Fernandez is making his third wild-card appearance with Yamaha’s V4 prototype this weekend. The V4 has a new chassis for Valencia, but the engine is the same as Sepang.

While Marc and Alex Marquez are confirmed as first and second in the world championship standings, Marco Bezzecchi holds a commanding 35-point advantage over Francesco Bagnaia for third, with Pedro Acosta now just three points behind the Ducati rider.

Honda will move up to C concession ranking, alongside Aprilia and KTM, if it finishes the season with at least 35% of the maximum constructors’ points total (285 points).

Honda is currently just 9 points short of that mark, on 276 points. Yamaha will stay in the lowest D ranking, whatever happens at Valencia.

An official post-race test, where rookies Toprak Razgatlioglu and Diogo Moreira will ride alongside their 2026 rivals, takes place on Tuesday.
