2024 Malaysian MotoGP: Friday Practice as it happened

That's all from our live coverage today, but keep your eyes fixed on Crash.net across the rest of Friday for all of the latest from the Sepang paddock. 

Join us again on Saturday from 2:10am GMT for final practice and qualifying. 

Marquez gets pushed to 10th, Acosta out. Bagnaia leads Martin by 0.050s.

Big lap from Marquez. He's ninth, with Acosta 10th. That has knocked Binder out of the Q2 places. 

chequered flag

Chequered flag is out. Some vital laps still to be completed. 

Marc Marquez is in the danger zone. He's dropped out to 11th with just a few seconds left.

incident 

Jorge Martin has crashed at Turn 1. He's ok. But that's session over.

Bagnaia finds a massive last sector to take over top spot with a 1m57.679s.

Just under 10 minutes to go, the top 10 is currently:

1. Martin
2. Bastianini
3. Bagnaia
4. Quartararo
5. Morbidelli
6. Acosta
7. Rins
8. M.Marquez
9. Miller
10. A.Marquez

Martin finds yet more tim to a 1m57.729s to move 0.532s clear. Four GP24s inside the top five, with Fabio Quartararo - on the older Yamaha engine - breaking them up in fourth. 

Martin takes over top spot again with a massive 1m57.829s to go 0.432s clear of the field.

Alex Rins has gone third on the Yamaha fitted with the new engine spec.

Bagnaia goes fastest with a 1m58.280s, with team-mate Bastianini following him.

Nakagami jumps up to third on the Honda. Good lap!

More riders have headed out on fresh rubber, including Bagnaia, who has slipped out of the top 10 after Nakagami jumped up to ninth. 

Only a handful of riders on track right now. Nakagami on the LCR Honda is the first to go to brand new rubber.

Incident 

Bezzecchi has crashed at the final corner. He's ok. 

incident 

A second crash for Espargaro at Turn 9. Pretty much the same as his first one at T9 at the start of the session. 

The Aprilia rider hasn't had much luck at Sepang. Last year he crashed five times across the weekend. 

We haven't seen Andrea Iannone so far in this session on screens, but he's currently 21st having completes 11 laps. 

Half an hour to go in this session. The top 10 is currently:

1. Martin
2. Miller
3. Acosta
4. Morbidelli
5. Zarco
6. Bastianini
7. Quartararo
8. M.Marquez
9. A.Marquez
10. Bagnaia

Martin makes his first mistake of the session. He's run off at the last corner into the gravel, but no harm done. 

Bagnaia improves his lap time, but stays ninth. He is on a 12-lap-old medium rear, so it will be a while before we see what pace he's really got over a single lap. 

Bagnaia goes up to ninth, but is 0.584s off the pace right now, which is still being set by Martin. 

Binder goes up to 19th, but that didn't look like a comfortable ride for the South African. A lot of work to do to get the bike to where stablemates Miller and Acosta have it in second and third right now.
