Franco Morbidelli finds himself the subject to a 3 point grid penalty for Sundays Grand Prix race as being found guilty of riding slow on the racing line.

Marc Marquez found himself having a lay down as the 6 time MotoGP Champion suffered a low side at turn 3 during FP1.

Three Yamahas are straight through to Q2 for the first time since 2021 with Quartararo, Miller and Rins.

Bezzecchi, finished an impressive 5th and straight through to Q2 and only +0.372
