The first official MotoGP test of 2025 in Sepang kicked off with a blend of promising performances and alarming incidents. The biggest concern revolves around Jorge Martín, who suffered two crashes on his debut with Aprilia. The second accident proved costly, leaving him with fractures in his right hand and left foot. Surgery is imminent, and his participation in the season opener is now uncertain.
On the track, Fabio Quartararo showcased strong form, clocking the fastest lap of the day and reaffirming Yamaha’s competitiveness. Marc Márquez made a strong impression in his first Ducati factory test, securing the second-best time, while his brother Álex followed closely aboard his Honda. However, the day was also marked by multiple crashes, as several riders struggled with the demanding Malaysian circuit.
