2025 Portuguese MotoGP: Which riders have made it into Q2 after Practice?
A full list of riders who have qualified for Q2 at the MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix
Gresini Ducati’s Alex Marquez tops the list of the 10 riders who have gained direct access to Q2 for Saturday’s MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix qualifying after Practice.
Having recently secured second in the championship, Alex Marquez has been riding in a more relaxed fashion and has so far been unstoppable.
He won the Malaysian Grand Prix and swept both practice sessions on Friday in Portugal, leading Pecco Bagnaia and Pedro Acosta in a tight battle at the top.
Bagnaia needs a strong weekend to overturn a five-point deficit in the standings with Marco Bezzecchi in the battle for third.
Nicolo Bulega made a strong impression on Friday in his first official MotoGP sessions as Marc Marquez’s replacement at the factory Ducati squad.
He ended the day in 17th, just over a second off the pace.
The top 10 riders at the end of Practice have qualified directly to Q2, while the rest will battle it out for one of two spots for the pole shootout in Q1 on Saturday.
