Thailand MotoGP - Warm-up Results
Marquez heads morning warm-up for the inaugural Thailand MotoGP from the Yamahas of Rossi and Vinales.
Most riders were using the hard rear tyre, as Michelin has suggested for the race due to the big drop in performance for the soft and mediums. However, some of those lower down the order are expected to take a gamble.
Bautista (7th), Espargaro (13th) and Nakagami (17th) were the only riders not using a hard rear tyre for their best lap time in warm-up.

The top four riders were using the hard front tyre, but the medium was also popular.
Jorge Lorenzo withdrew from the remainder of the weekend after injuring his left wrist during a huge Friday afternoon highside, which followed foot injuries at Aragon.
