Eight-time World Champion Marc Marquez demonstrated his wet weather prowess as he went fastest on the rain-soaked Lusail International Circuit pavement in the second MotoGP practice session in Qatar.

In his first race weekend on the 2023-spec Gresini Ducati Desmosedici, Marquez’ fastest lap was a 2:06.544, 0.290 seconds faster than Red Bull GASGAS Tech3’s Augusto Fernandez. Third was teammate and MotoGP rookie Pedro Acosta, the pair of GASGAS machines leading the factory Red Bull KTMs of Jack Miller and Brad Binder as the RC16 took four of the top five spots in the wet.

Raul Fernandez took sixth on the 2023-spec Aprilia RS-GP he will start the season on for the American Trackhouse Racing squad. Teammate Oliveira was 20th.
