Smashing records in the last 5 minutes of MotoGP Practice 💥 | 2025 Indonesian GP

GP24. What we do know after Jack's great spot as Rins goes in hot into Turn 10 is that Aldegaard is out on his spare machine. He nearly ran into his teammate there, Rins, into Turn 10. Now the mark through 11. This is just him trying to build up some temperature in those Michelin tyres. Second in Q1 with a 1.29.670. So Mark still able to find, not able to find a 1.29 so far in Q2. Now Fernandes has just set the fastest first sector on 1.2. So we've got one Aprilia on pole position at the moment. It's another Aprilia launching the biggest threat to Betsegi. He's just set a fastest second sector as well as the Spanish rider. This could be an Aprilia 1.2 here if this carries on. Betsegi versus Fernandes. Over the line will go Mark Marquez. Just over four minutes of this session remaining. Staring down the barrel of what would be his worst qualifying of the season by some stretch, Betsegi. Well, just look at this. Once again he has creamed the field in that sector too. That's where he is so, so good. Marine looking to keep himself on the front row for the first time on the factory Honda. What about Raul Fernandes? This will be close. Surely this is going to push Raul onto the front row of the grid. Will be just his third ever front row in Monte GP. Over the line he goes. It is third quickest then goes Fernandes with a 1.29.543. This though could be history beckoning for Betsegi. Are we going to witness the first ever 1.28 lap of the Mandelika circuit? He's up by over four tenths of a second. A 1.29.088. It's Jorge Martin's all-time lap record. That's going to be obliterated. It's demolished. It's destroyed by Betsegi. It is the first ever 1.28 Monte GP lap of this Mandelika circuit. 1.28.832. Betsegi on pole. Acosta second with only seven tenths of a second back. Aldeguerre looking to get himself back onto the front row. This will be some job by Aldeguerre on the spare. Guzzini, Ducati. Over the line he goes into second with 1.29.230. A showstopper though by Bez. No one's beating that. Alex Marquez certainly isn't beating that. Has he gone down at the same corner he crashed at yesterday into turn 13? Alex Marquez wherever he's gone down he's not going to be improving at the moment on sixth place as we find Rins going onto the front row of the grid on a 1.29.3. Alex Rins was last time he was on the front row. Alex Rins's last front row was Austin 2023 which was a special weekend wasn't it for Alex because he won that weekend. Mark Marquez in all of this drama has dropped now down to last place in this Q2 session. Just looking at Mark's split times. Yeah he backed out of his last lap did Mark. 12th place on the grid. Front washes out for Alex. So the best he's going to be hoping for is seventh place. Marini fifth after his front row charge early on. What about Acosta? Can he pinch back at a front row start here? Acosta now going through turn 12 through the left hander of 13. What a job this by Alex Rins. A 1.29.336. Two and a half years since we saw Rins on the front row of the grid. Oh Acosta's made a mistake. Acosta has made a mistake. It wasn't going to be at that stage of the lap though. A front row lap for Acosta. What about Mark? Well he's struggling. Yeah he's struggling. Lost the front once again going through 13. And he's miles off. He's only going to get on to the third row. Best here is Mark Marquez. He's going to have one more lap after this but this is Mark Marquez. Nowhere near the level we've seen in 2025 so far. Many many reasons for that. Not all down to Mark Marquez himself. He's going to be somewhere near Dejan Antonio and Oliveira in 29.8. 9th and 10th. Here comes the 90 over the line. He doesn't even improve on 12th. I don't think anybody really saw this coming. We know that Mark Marquez has had his woes. He has had his struggles in recent history here in Mandelica. Not even finished the Sunday Grand Prix. But I don't think anybody could have foreseen what's happened to the world champion. Seven or six days now after winning it his seventh Monte GP title. He's at the wrong end of this Q2 session. Having just said that as Ralph Fernandes does indeed move himself back onto the front row. Mark has had a real strong first sector. His personal best first sector is on the money. Can he salvage something here later on? Mark Marquez he's now the only rider so far in this session that's not a fan of 1.29. Second sector. Mark Marquez has lost over half a second. Only six tenths compared to Benseki's best pace. Marini over the line. It looks like it's going to be probably second row for Marini. He has to go over the line for one more lap if he can find it. We know that Mark Marquez can find a 1.29. He did one in Q1. He's now eight tenths down. Three quarters the way through the lap. So Mark Marquez potentially can get himself onto the third row of the grid. The Yamaha's are trying to launch a late challenge here. Quattroro's not gonna be on the front row there. Best bet is Alex Rins. Mark Marquez just cannot wait. Oh down goes Rins. Rins exactly the same corner which caught out his teammate Fabio Quattroro. So Alex Rins fighting to get himself back on the front row. Fourth at the moment for Rins. Aldeguerre's taking the chequered flag. He's second. Acosta over the line. He's fifth. Mark Marquez through in ninth place and would probably been ahead of the Yamaha's when they crashed. So that ninth place will be allowed to stand. The one rider remaining who's setting personal bests who we might need to keep an eye on is Juan Mir who's setting a personal best. It won't be a front row as it was in Metegi last weekend. Their best bet looks like being Luca Marini who's currently sitting sixth. He's up behind Marco Bencecchi who is waltzing to pole position here in Mandelica. But will his fellow VR46 Academy friend join him? Mark Marquez is lowest grid position in a year since he was ninth on the grid in Japan 2024. Marini and there's not going to be a front row for Marini. Yes the yellows. Oh he's frustrated there isn't he? Luca Marini. I guess he'll be frustrated there because there's no point Alex Rins rejoining the session. Chequered flag is out. Session is over. I think Luca Marini seen those yellow flags and said well I was on a lap. Your session is over and now everybody's session is over. And Aprilia can celebrate a pole position that looked on the cards. It looked a formality before Q2 even began. Well we said pre-session that other riders had labeled Marco Bencecchi uncatchable, untouchable and almost unbeatable. Well he has delivered. How on earth do you stop Marco Bencecchi on the factory of Aprilia here in Mandelika? You don't. A 1.28.832. A historic lap time. The first and only 1.28 we've ever seen here at the Mandelika International Circuit. That was not even close.
