Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez are separated by just two points at the top of the MotoGP World Championship heading into Mandalika.
Marquez arrives after a perfect double at Motegi but will be braced for an Aprilia fightback based on the factory’s dominant 2025 Mandalika form.
Rookie Fermin Aldeguer was the only Ducati rider able to challenge the leading RS-GPs.
Martin was absent due to injury, but team-mate Marco Bezzecchi won the Sprint from pole, with Raul Fernandez also on the podium for Trackhouse.
However, disaster struck in the grand prix when Bezzecchi clipped Marquez on the opening lap, causing a big accident that left the Ducati star injured for the rest of the season.
Marquez, who had finished just sixth in the Sprint after a long lap, is yet to finish an Indonesian Grand Prix.
With Bezzecchi out, Aldeguer took his first and so far only victory from KTM’s Pedro Acosta, while the rest of the Ducati riders struggled on the special heat-resistant rear tyre.
What will happen this weekend? Stay tuned to find out…

Factory Aprilia one-two
While one Aprilia rider makes his way back to the pits, factory duo Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin are on top of the timesheets.
Martin's closest title rival Marc Marquez is seventh.
04:12
Ai Ogura crash
Ai Ogura is the second faller in the session, a fast lowside accident in the Turns 7-8-9 sequence. The Japanese is OK; his RS-GP isn't, with marshals dousing the engine with fire extinguishers.
04:08
Aprilia wings
Jack Appleyard reports that all three versions of the Aprilia rear wings are in action this morning.
04:06
Diggia medium
Fabio di Giannantonio is the only rider in the top eleven using the medium front tyre at the moment.
Last year, the soft front was favoured for qualifying, Sprint and the Grand Prix, but Michelin may have changed the compounds for this weekend.
That would explain why so many riders are on the soft front in FP1, when teams normally use up tyres they don't expect to need in the more important sessions.

Crash for Diogo Moreira
LCR Honda rookie Diogo Moreira is the first faller of the weekend, at Turn 1. The Brazilian walks away unharmed.
