2025 San Marino MotoGP: Friday Practice LIVE UPDATES
Live coverage of the Friday practice sessions from the 2025 San Marino Grand Prix at Misano.
Round 16 of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship takes the championship to Misano for the San Marino Grand Prix. FP1 is due to start at 10:45 local time, with Practice starting later this afternoon at 15:00.
Marc Marquez leads the riders' standings heading into this weekend by 182 points over Alex Marquez, who comes into this weekend off the back of his second MotoGP win at Barcelona last time out.
Francesco Bagnaia remains third in the standings but is still without a podium since he was third at Sachsenring before the summer break.
Enea Bastianini won this race last year and took his first grand prix podium with KTM last weekend in Catalunya.
Pedro Acosta has also been in strong form recently, having finished in the top-five in each of the past four grands prix.
Marco Bezzecchi will be looking to get his challenge for third in the standings back on track this weekend after not scoring in either race in Catalunya despite having decent performance there. He was last on the Misano podium in 2023, when he was second in both races behind his current teammate Jorge Martin, whose pre-injury-return test before the Brno race took place here at Misano.
Franco Morbidelli topped FP1 this morning despite crashing late on. Fabio Quartararo also showed strong pace for Yamaha in second, the Iwata marque also having Augusto Fernandez wildcarding this weekend with the new V4 engine.

FP1 summary
FP1 this morning was topped by Franco Morbidelli, the Italian ahead of Fabio Quartararo and Fabio Di Giannantonio in the top-three.
Quartararo was unusually not the primary object of interest in the Yamaha camp this morning, nor will he be for most of this weekend, thanks to the presence of Augusto Fernandez, or, more specifically, Fernandez's V4-powered YZR-M1.
The Spanish test rider was 21st-fastest this morning, ahead of the two LCR Hondas who brought up the rear of the field, and around 1s behind Quartararo's best effort. He did have a mechanical on his first bike, reportedly an electrical issue, but was able to rejoin the session on his number two bike.
Championship leader Marc Marquez got off to a fine enough start in fifth place, one spot behind Catalunya winner Alex Marquez.
Francesco Bagnaia was in the top-10 for much of the session but he slipped to 11th at the end.
Pedro Acosta was the best of the KTMs in seventh, while Luca Marini ensured representation for all five manufacturers in the top-10 as he put his Honda sixth-fastest.
