Pedro Acosta bagged his place in Q2 on Friday afternoon at the 2026 MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix, after leading Practice for KTM. 

But the big shock of the day was Jorge Martin. The French Grand Prix winner suffered a heavy crash in FP1, and looked off-colour on Friday afternoon in Practice. 

A second fall late in the session left him outside of the top 10 and facing Q1 for the first time this season. It ends the French Grand Prix winner's 100% Q2 appearance record this year. 

He will join Pecco Bagnaia - who was on pole at Le Mans - in Q1 on Saturday morning, as well as Ai Ogura - who was third in the French Grand Prix - who crashed in Practice. 

The top two at the end of Q1 on Saturday morning will advance to Q2 and fight for pole position.
