MotoGP: Bagnaia Breaks Lap Record At Red Bull Ring

Francesco Bagnaia led MotoGP World Championship practice Friday afternoon at the Red Bull Ring, in Austria. Riding his Lenovo Ducati Desmosedici GP24 on spec Michelin tires, the two-time and defending Champion turned a lap time of 1:28.508. Not only was that good enough to lead the 25-rider field, it was also good enough to eclipse Marco Bezzecchi’s 2023 All-Time Lap Record of 1:28.533.

Franco Morbidelli was the best of the rest with a 1:28.789 on his Prima Pramac Racing Ducati.

Jorge Martin, Morbidelli’s teammate and the current World Championship point leader, was third at 1:28.827.

Six-time MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez finished the session fourth with a 1:28.858 on his Gresini Racing Ducati, making it four Ducatis in the top four.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Brad Binder broke the Ducati stranglehold at the top with a 1:28.969.
