Improvement from Quartararo - same tyres from the start of the session. P8 now for the Frenchman, 1:31.207 so just under 0.3 behind Marquez.

2025 Valencia MotoGP: Friday Practice LIVE UPDATES
Live coverage of the Practice session from the 2025 Valencia MotoGP, the final round of the season.
The final round of the 2025 MotoGP season, the Valencia MotoGP, gets underway today. Practice is due to start at 15:00 local time.
Marco Bezzecchi enters the finale as the most recent winner after his victory in Portugal last time out, while Francesco Bagnaia is the most recent winner in Valencia back in 2023, and also won last year's final round in Barcelona. They were only 18th and 21st, respectively, in FP1 this morning.
Pedro Acosta and Alex Marquez also come to Valencia with good form, both having been on the podium in the two races. Marquez was sixth in FP1, while Acosta was eighth.
Marc Marquez has two MotoGP victories to his name in Valencia, in 2014 and 2019, but remains absent this weekend and is replaced again by Nicolo Bulega, who was 23rd this morning.
After contesting his final home race last week in Portugal, Miguel Oliveira is set to ride in his final grand prix as a full-time MotoGP rider this weekend in Valencia before he starts testing for WorldSBK later this month with BMW.
Somkiat Chantra also takes on his final premier class grand prix this weekend before his own WorldSBK move with Honda.
Jack Miller was fastest this morning in an FP1 session that ended with a highly unusual order at the top, with Ai Ogura second and HRC test rider Aleix Espargaro third, the Spaniard one of two wildcards this weekend, the other being Yamaha test rider Augusto Fernandez who was 10th-fastest on the V4 M1 this morning.

World feed reporting tech issues on both of Bagnaia's Ducatis this morning. He's 17th at the moment.
10:39
Some decent speed from Augusto Fernandez early on, P16 with his latest lap, 0.572s off the top on the V4.
10:36
Morbidelli the first rider to join Marquez in the 1:30s, 0.034s behind the Spaniard after his latest lap.
10:26
Almost everyone back in the pits at the moment, just Martin has just headed out, as well as Acosta, Quartararo, and Bezzecchi. Rins also on-track.
10:20
Brad Binder has crashed. Phil Marron is in orange this weekend for the first time, getting bedded into the Red Bull KTM team before he becomes Binder's crew chief on Tuesday.
10:19
It's Marquez making the early pace this morning, the only rider in the 1:30s at the moment. 24 aero for the moment.
10:17
Marquez aero
Alex Marquez has the 2025 Ducati aero to try this morning for the first time this season. Only really Marc Marquez has stuck with it for most of the season; Fabio Di Giannantonio has used it a bit but recently has been mostly on the 2024 aero; and Francesco Bagnaia has almost exclusively run the 2024 aero this year.
10:15
Wildcards and returns
Some test riders out there this weekend: Augusto Fernandez riding the V4 Yamaha, and Aleix Espargaro riding the Honda.
Some also not riding: Lorenzo Savadori is no longer replacing Jorge Martin at Aprilia, the Spaniard returning with a double long lap penalty to serve after his Motegi Sprint crash; and Pol Espargaro is no longer replacing Maverick Vinales at Tech3.
10:11
FP1 start
Pit lane is open in Valencia and we are underway for FP1.
10:08
Conditions
Just a couple of minutes away from FP1 getting underway in Valencia.
Pretty fresh conditions this morning: cloudy skies and 19C both air and track temperature.
10:06
Moto2 FP1
Moto2 FP1 has just concluded in Valencia, Alex Escrig topping the session.
Of the title contenders, Manuel Gonzalez was the fastest in second place, while Diogo Moreira was fifth. Moreira needs only a top-14 finish to clinch the title on Sunday, while Gonzalez must win the race ans hope for Moreira to finish 15th or lower.
10:04
Unpredictable?
It's a strange final round here in Valencia because it's quite hard to know exactly what the storylines will be coming into the race, with the top two places in the championship having been decided, and with Marco Bezzecchi 35 points clear of Francesco Bagnaia in the battle for third, from which Pedro Acosta has now been eliminated.
And with two years having passed since the last race in Valencia, due to the cancellation of last year's race because of the regional flooding, it's hard to predict much based on the past.
Certainly, the form riders coming in this weekend are Bezzecchi, Acosta, and Alex Marquez, but beyond that it feels very much like a "let's see" weekend. Some actual unpredictability?

Welcome to live coverage of the Valencia MotoGP FP1 session this morning which is set to get underway at 11:10 local time.
We're a little delayed with this morning's schedule due to a red flag in Moto2 FP1, which is just in its final 10 minutes now.
There was water running across the track in turn six, and three riders crashed there, including Adrian Huertas who has reportedly suffered two broken arms.
