Raul Fernandez tops Friday practice at Qatar Grand Prix as championship battle heats up

Posted : 18 November 2023
In the Friday Practice session at the Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Qatar, Raul Fernandez emerged as the fastest rider, securing a spot in Q2 with a time of 1:52.892. Fabio Di Giannantonio closely followed in second place, while Maverick Viñales, despite setting the fastest lap, had it canceled due to a yellow flag, placing him third.
 
The Championship battle intensified as only 14 points separated Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin. The on-track competition was even closer, with just 0.007s between Martin in 7th and Bagnaia in 8th.
 
In the quest for Q2 spots, tensions rose as Bagnaia and Martin struggled initially, running 1.5s off the pace. However, a late surge in the final minutes saw Raul Fernandez take the top spot. Martin secured P6, and Bagnaia responded with another fast lap to place just behind Martin. Brad Binder claimed 4th place, followed by Aleix Espargaro in 5th.
 
Luca Marini made a late run, finishing in 6th place and pushing title contenders Martin and Bagnaia down a spot each to 7th and 8th. Augusto Fernandez claimed 9th place, and Marc Marquez secured the final Q2 spot in 10th.
 
Notable riders like Jack Miller, Alex Marquez, Franco Morbidelli, Pol Espargaro, Marco Bezzecchi, and Johann Zarco will battle in Q1. The stage is set for intense competition in the title fight as MotoGP™ experiences some of its closest racing, promising thrilling Qualifying and Tissot Sprint sessions on Saturday at the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar.
