Quartararo Shines Amid Injury Setbacks at MotoGP Test

The first day of the 2025 MotoGP pre-season testing at the Sepang International Circuit began on February 5, featuring a mix of thrilling performances and setbacks. Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo topped the time sheets with a fastest lap of 1:57.555, while his teammate Alex Marquez secured a respectable third place. Marc Márquez from Ducati closely followed in second, highlighting the competitive spirit among the teams.

However, the day was marred by a significant crash involving reigning champion Jorge Martin, who sustained injuries to his left foot and right hand, prompting immediate medical attention. Martin's incident raised concerns about his participation in the testing sessions. Crashes were common throughout the day, notably affecting Aprilia's Raul Fernandez, who was ruled out due to injuries. As the three-day test continues, the focus remains on rider acclimatization to new machines and preparations for the upcoming season opener in Thailand.
