Motegi sprint winner Francesco Bagnaia outpaced title rival Jorge Martin by just 0.005s during morning warm-up for the 2024 Japanese MotoGP.
After raindrops on Saturday, better weather is forecast throughout Sunday, with the ten-minute warm-up held in bright and sunny conditions.
Enea Bastianini (second in the Sprint), Pedro Acosta (who fell from the lead) and Marc Marquez (who rode from ninth to third) completed the warm-up top five as riders worked with the medium rear tyre in preparation for this afternoon's 24-lap grand prix.
Bagnaia's Saturday win has reduced Martin's world championship lead to 15 points. The Pramac rider, who salvaged fourth in the Sprint, must again start from just eleventh on the grid after a qualifying crash.
Miguel Oliveira is absent after fracturing his right wrist in Mandalika and replaced at Trackhouse by Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori.
World Superbike regular Remy Gardner is making his third appearance of the season for Yamaha, as a wild-card in the factory’s home round.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
