00:02:44in the World Championship chase

00:04:44in this Malaysian Grand Prix weekend

00:05:14for Jorge Martín.

00:05:16The Aprilia star was overriding

00:05:18the RSGP to try and take

00:05:20those crucial 12 points.

00:05:21Of course, at this stage, Jorge Martín was destined

00:05:24to hang on to the lead

00:05:25in the World Championship. He arrived in Australia

00:05:27two points clear. And Marquez,

00:05:30what a fight, what a battle

00:05:32this was. But you just see there, that little

00:05:34bit of a twitch, that instability on the factory of Prudia,

00:05:38and the wince there as we see those live picks

00:05:39in the top left and corner of the screens of Jorge Martín,

00:05:42the big, big, multiple barrel rolls

00:05:44through the gravel trap.

00:05:45Mark Marquez taking a record-breaking

00:05:4824th sprint success.

00:05:50Jorge Martín losing the World Championship lead and this.

00:05:54If he's able to ride any

00:05:55racing up here this weekend, it will be

00:05:57a Herculean effort.

00:05:59Yeah, genuine, genuine hero.

00:06:01And that was a powerful shot, wasn't it?

00:06:03Jorge Martín visibly wincing.

00:06:06Obviously, he didn't want to look at the screen

00:06:07when he saw that crash, because ultimately

00:06:10only Jorge Martín can truly tell us

00:06:12right now how much pain

00:06:14he is in. He does look a little bit

00:06:16concerned, like there's a little bit of trepidation,

00:06:18but that quote on your screen sums

00:06:20it all up. It's not over until it's over.

00:06:22And because he has

00:06:23the incentive, the

00:06:25dream of trying to challenge and to try and win

00:06:28the MotoGP World Championship, the biggest

00:06:30prize on two wheels, that

00:06:32is what is driving Jorge Martín

00:06:33to give this a go. The only

00:06:36reason he is here. It's a big reason

00:06:38of course, as he is still firmly

00:06:39in World Championship contention, just 10

00:06:41points behind series leader

00:06:43Marc Marquez. He said himself yesterday,

00:06:45the World Championship chase, the world

00:06:47title fight is the only reason

00:06:49right now he is not sat on his sofa

00:06:51watching this free practice one session

00:06:53at his home in the Andorra Mountains.

00:06:55He said, I should be in a cast

00:06:57right now, but thankfully

00:06:59the injuries from Philippe Ireland

00:07:02not as severe as what Aprilia and

00:07:03Martín at first feared. So he

00:07:05is at least here to have a go

00:07:07at riding in FP1 this morning. Marc Marquez

00:07:09then, your outright world

00:07:11championship leader. That sprint

00:07:13win six days ago in Australia, moving

00:07:15Marc onto 365

00:07:18points. Yeah, Marc Marquez

00:07:20knows better than anybody

00:07:21on the MotoGP grid that no

00:07:23pain, no gain. I mean

00:07:25these riders, it is

00:07:27not an easy route, it's not an easy ride

00:07:29is it to world championship glory. They have all

00:07:31all three of our title contenders

00:07:33remaining. Marc Marquez of course, missing

00:07:35the Le Mans Grand Prix, missing Catalonia

00:07:37as he recovered from yet more

00:07:39surgery on that

00:07:41troublesome right shoulder which has dogged him for

00:07:43six long years.

00:07:44Roy Martin, well he missed the

00:07:46everybody missed the Australian Grand Prix

00:07:48hoping to keep himself on the

00:07:50grid here this weekend. Marc

00:07:51of course has missed the Grand Prix this year

00:07:54through injury as well at the

00:07:56Saxon ring. So all of our top three

00:07:58title contenders, whichever one of them

00:08:00wins this world title in

00:08:022026. Boy, have they done it

00:08:04the hard way.

00:08:06Fernandez is also doing it the hard way. He's another

00:08:08rider who will be reviewed at the

00:08:10end of this free practice one session.

00:08:12You can still see there the protection on

00:08:14his broken index finger on

00:08:16his right hand. The

00:08:18pain, this is where the injury occurred

00:08:20of course on the Saturday sprint

00:08:22in Mandelica. He

00:08:24of course then went on heroically

00:08:26to finish second the following day himself

00:08:28in the Grand Prix just showing how

00:08:30his pain threshold

00:08:32stood up to the situation

00:08:34but Ralph Fernandez he

00:08:36withdrew from the Australian

00:08:38Grand Prix. So whatever the weather had provided with us

00:08:40last Sunday in Phillip Island

00:08:42Ralph Fernandez was not taking part

00:08:44in that Sunday Grand Prix because the

00:08:46inflammation around that broken

00:08:48finger, the soft tissue

00:08:50inflamed again around that finger fracture. So

00:08:52Ralph Fernandez in further discomfort last

00:08:54weekend in Phillip Island. Of course

00:08:56a crash at the start of the weekend in FP1

00:08:58didn't help, but Ralph Fernandez

00:09:00another rider whose condition is

00:09:01subject to review at the end of this session.

00:09:04Yeah, that monster crash he had there

00:09:06last week, this time last week

00:09:08down on in Australia was actually the

00:09:10Fafmar dear way to celebrate his

00:09:1226th birthday as he went tumbling through

00:09:14the gravel into Siberia. You can

00:09:16just see there the live pictures in the

00:09:18picture-in-picture screen, in the top left

00:09:20on the screen, Dr. Angel Chartre,

00:09:22the Mona GP medical director there

00:09:24just having some last-minute words

00:09:26with Jorge Martin. That's his father

00:09:28Angel Martin who's helping

00:09:30Jorge just get that right glove on. As we

00:09:31saw there, Ralph Fernandez

00:09:34decided to call it quits in last weekend's

00:09:36sprint in Australia. I mean he was

00:09:37really battered and bruised.

00:09:40This is going to be

00:09:41Jorge Martin's pain threshold

00:09:43tested to his absolute

00:09:45limit, tested right to

00:09:48the edge of his physical pain

00:09:50barrier here, right to the edge

00:09:51of what his body and his brain

00:09:54can withstand in terms of pain. He has

00:09:55done it so, so many times hasn't he

00:09:57over the last couple of years. His

00:09:58factory a pretty a journey, pretty

00:10:00much started in disastrous fashion here, in

00:10:02Sepang, in the pre-season test of

00:10:042025, after just 13 laps in

00:10:072025, racing for the

00:10:09Nuali factory, sporting that gorgeous

00:10:11number one player course, having won the

00:10:13world championship in 2024 for Prama Ducati.

00:10:16Massive, massive high side at

00:10:18turn two, hand fractures on

00:10:20that occasion, ankle fractures

00:10:21and since that moment really

00:10:23you can probably scarcely say

00:10:25that Jorge Martin has been back to his

00:10:28absolute peak physical

00:10:29best. Here he goes then, Jorge

00:10:32Martin, six days

00:10:33on from breaking his right

00:10:35arm, leaves pit lane at the

00:10:38Sepang international circuit, one of the most

00:10:39physical circuits anyway, that the

00:10:41MotoGP riders go to on the calendar

00:10:44but multiply that tenfold

00:10:46for Jorge Martin

00:10:47right now. Of course

00:10:49all of the forces from these

00:10:51motorcycles, when you brake, when you

00:10:53accelerate, they all send forces

00:10:55through your arms, to right

00:10:57arm of course Jorge Martin, it's the

00:10:59hand of course that he uses to

00:11:00brake and to accelerate, it

00:11:03is a right-handed circuit predominantly,

00:11:05there are ten right-handed corners

00:11:06around the Sepang circuit, which Jorge

00:11:09Martin now has to try and tackle.

00:11:10Yeah, there are some, I mean

00:11:13Brembo, when you look at the braking

00:11:14around this

00:11:16international circuit, they have a scale, don't they?

00:11:18A scale of one to six, one

00:11:20being the least severe braking

00:11:22tracks on the calendar, six being the

00:11:24absolute max, the most brutal braking

00:11:26on the calendar, well they categorise

00:11:29Sepang as a five

00:11:30out of six, there are eleven braking

00:11:33zones here in

00:11:35Sepang, they say four of them

00:11:37are at the highest level

00:11:38and you're on the brakes, I mean this is where

00:11:40it's going to be really really tough for Jorge Martin

00:11:42you spend 35

00:11:45seconds of the

00:11:46Sepang lap, squeezing that front

00:11:48brake lever, so this is going to be agony

00:11:50this is going to be a torture

00:11:52for Jorge Martin, anxious faces already

00:11:54inside the Aprilia garage there, you can see

00:11:56Massimo Rivler, now grabbing the

00:11:58breaker, this is only a sort of building up

00:12:00speed, this is only on an out-up isn't it for Jorge Martin

00:12:02but you just know, he's wincing

00:12:04right now, grimacing in pain inside

00:12:06that helmet, wherever the most powerful

00:12:08painkillers are in Kuala Lumpur

00:12:10I'm sure Jorge Martin has been to buy a

00:12:12batch of them already this weekend

00:12:13surely they're going to be very important

00:12:16if Jorge is going to take a full part

00:12:17in this weekend, that's Fabiana Sturlachini

00:12:20the technical boss at Aprilia now watching

00:12:22in the top left hand corner of your

00:12:24screens, we are all watching

00:12:26the body language on board this motorcycle

00:12:28carries the lean angle into turn 15

00:12:30as Jorge Martin, just how many

00:12:32laps will he put in in this session

00:12:34of course there was a fear yesterday

00:12:36evening that this morning session could have been wet

00:12:38because it absolutely dumped it

00:12:40down with rain yesterday evening

00:12:42which would have made it slightly less physical

00:12:43but albeit slightly more risky of a crash

00:12:46for Jorge Martin as he starts

00:12:48his first time lap of the morning

00:12:49it's not just the aggressive

00:12:52severe hard braking zone just clinging

00:12:54on for dear life when you're in the

00:12:56harsh acceleration zones here in Sepang

00:12:58when you look at turn eight to nine

00:13:01up from third gear to fifth gear

00:13:03maxed out at 250 km an hour

00:13:05when you come out of the second gear turn 14

00:13:07onto the back straight to come on

00:13:09the home stretch up from second gear

00:13:12to sixth gear hard on the brakes

00:13:14then as you accelerate out of the last corner

00:13:16turn 15 from second gear 65 km an hour

00:13:19you motor up to sixth gear just shy of 350 km

00:13:23on that start finish rate before there's

00:13:25a massive deceleration zone

00:13:27from sixth gear down to second gear

00:13:29for the real tight

00:13:31tricky turn one

00:13:33I mean he could not really have picked a worse

00:13:35venue could he maybe Matejgi in terms

00:13:37of the hard braking zones

00:13:39to come to a critical

00:13:41critical Grand Prix

00:13:42of course as he's mentioned he's only here because the world title's

00:13:45on the line anywhere else

00:13:47he would have gone home and rested up

00:13:49it could have even been the end of his season

00:13:51which I'm following now through the right

00:13:53handers of turn seven and eight

00:13:55that's third gear on a modern GP

00:13:57by Grand 125 km an hour

00:14:00heavy braking now

00:14:01into turn number nine

00:14:03squeezing the brake with that right hand

00:14:05and of course the brake is in

00:14:07that right arm for Jorge Martín

00:14:09and every corner

00:14:11is a bit of a voyage of discovery

00:14:12it's just trying to understand his physical condition

00:14:15understanding how much pain he's prepared

00:14:17to stomach this weekend to try

00:14:19and chase that dream of the world title

00:14:21fair play to him

00:14:23I mean just to be out there is some

00:14:25some effort I mean we call these guys

00:14:28superhumans not all heroes

00:14:29wear capes I mean the thing is

00:14:31though this is just the norm

00:14:32Marco Betsecki and Marc Marquez rushed yesterday

00:14:35about Jorge Martín coming to

00:14:37Zabang and attempting to ride

00:14:38just a few days after picking up what is

00:14:41a nasty injury from what Jorge Martín

00:14:43himself described as a very nasty crash

00:14:45and both Marc Marquez and Marco Betsecki said

00:14:47well we don't know the exact same thing

00:14:49he's fighting for the world championship

00:14:51he could not really afford

00:14:53if he felt like he had a chance

00:14:55of starting this weekend he had no choice

00:14:57but to come here

00:14:59and give it a go

00:15:01Martin then after his first two

00:15:03flying laps has done a best

00:15:05of a 202.861

00:15:08yeah the first lap of course the out lap

00:15:10Jorge Martín who now rolls out of the way

00:15:12into the first corner

00:15:13of course only Aprilia will know at the moment

00:15:15what the run plan is for Jorge Martín

00:15:17generally what you'd see from riders at the start

00:15:19of a session is they'll go out there and do maybe

00:15:21four or five laps whether Jorge Martín

00:15:24is basically being sent out there

00:15:25fueled up basically said Jorge you stay out there

00:15:28for as long as you feel comfortable

00:15:29and then come in and park it and that's

00:15:31Massimo Rivola left hand side of the picture

00:15:34with obvious concern

00:15:36his other rider of course Marco Badecki

00:15:38he currently leaves this session but I think all of their

00:15:40concern at the moment is for the 89

00:15:42he doesn't stack it very often in

00:15:44sprints does he Jorge Martín that's why it was such a

00:15:46surprise to see him tumbling through the gravel trap

00:15:48at high speed last weekend at turnout in

00:15:50Philippine it was only his sixth sprint

00:15:51DNF in 64

00:15:53Saturday appearances and of course

00:15:56we know he's done winning for fun hasn't he in the sprint format

00:15:5820 sprint wins

00:15:5938 sprint podiums

00:16:01every single movement

00:16:04whether it be there as he rolls the throttle

00:16:06back on through turn nine

00:16:07every single time he moves

00:16:10the throttle every single time he changes

00:16:12body position here to move the

00:16:14a pretty maneuver it try and use the agility

00:16:16of that RSGP

00:16:17flicking it from left through nine then

00:16:19to climb up the hill back right through turn

00:16:2110 just every

00:16:24millimetre motion every millimetre

00:16:26movement is going to be hurting

00:16:28like hell for Martin right now

00:16:30and what every rider would ideally want

00:16:32when they're out there on the racetrack is for it all to feel

00:16:34natural but it doesn't feel natural

00:16:36for Jorge Martín right now

00:16:38and all the time that you're focusing and concentrating

00:16:40on the pain that you're in you're not

00:16:42focusing and concentrating on going as fast

00:16:44as possible and so

00:16:46Jorge Martín it's just a case I think this

00:16:48weekend if he does take part through the rest of the

00:16:50weekend just trying to score whatever points

00:16:52he can this weekend and then

00:16:54rest and regroup for another week

00:16:56before the Grand Prix of Qatar

00:16:58next weekend Mark Marquez who has to try

00:17:00and block everything that's happening to Jorge Martín

00:17:02this weekend out of his mind altogether

00:17:03and focus on his job he takes the

00:17:06other lead in this session on a 158

00:17:089-1-2 yeah I mean Jorge Martín knew

00:17:10he had a personal mountain

00:17:11to climb a Mount Everest to climb

00:17:14really here this weekend he's getting a reminder

00:17:16of just how tough this weekend potentially

00:17:18could be because his two

00:17:19closest tight arrivals

00:17:21immediately after what two

00:17:23flying laps Mark Marquez leads

00:17:25Marco Betzecchi at the early

00:17:27part of this session Mark Marquez

00:17:29wasting no time in getting down

00:17:31to a rapid pace of 158.9-1-2

00:17:34from the world championship

00:17:35leader has got him almost half a second clear

00:17:37of Marco Betzecchi

00:17:39just the two minor GP wins

00:17:42here though previously for the 33

00:17:43old Spaniard win here in 2014

00:17:45all the way back to 2018 for the last time

00:17:47Mark was victorious in front of the

00:17:49Malaysian crowd there's been no podium

00:17:51he won top six in his last three

00:17:54since he was runner-up

00:17:55back in 2019 so not the happiest

00:17:58of recent hunting grounds

00:17:59for our now world championship leader

00:18:01two more wins than a Prudio have got though

00:18:03they've often found this circuit to be their

00:18:05ultimate kryptonite back when

00:18:07Prudio admittedly didn't have as good a motorcycle as they have

00:18:09right now Marco Betzecchi was pretty

00:18:11strong here in pre-season testing

00:18:13although that course was a long long time

00:18:15ago before the summer blip

00:18:18the summer slump of Marco Betzecchi

00:18:20which has left him playing catch-up

00:18:22in this world championship battle

00:18:24of course the Prudio it's often

00:18:25managed to reliability problems the low grip

00:18:27surface here in Tafang has often

00:18:29caught them out so Prudio

00:18:32potentially fearing that they might find

00:18:33themselves in a bit of an uphill battle to beat

00:18:35Ducati here this weekend and that's even with four

00:18:37fit riders of course when the riders and

00:18:39teams come here testing pre-season in February

00:18:41they are very much in test and

00:18:43development mode with an iron getting

00:18:45their bikes dialled in and fine-tuned for the

00:18:47start of every season

00:18:49and then those bikes that

00:18:51technical war will evolve

00:18:53over the course of the season both

00:18:55Mark Marquez and Marco Betzecchi were

00:18:57grilled on this yesterday how different are

00:18:59their Ducati's and Aprilia's compared to

00:19:01the spec of their bikes here in

00:19:03February they were both very cagey both very coy

00:19:06but they did say yeah there's been

00:19:07clear evolutions there's been clear steps

00:19:09forward so sometimes you don't get a reference

00:19:11as Hoy Martin then ends his first stint

00:19:15he completed three laps then

00:19:18one flying lap wasn't really

00:19:20taboo in that session or in that opening

00:19:21salvo from Hoy Martin

00:19:23his best was a 2.02.861 which was

00:19:27just a whisk of shy being four seconds

00:19:30adrift I was going to say a fully fit

00:19:32Mark Marquez but I don't think we can call it

00:19:33any of our title contenders

00:19:35fully fit Mark Marquez his doctor telling

00:19:37us recently that his right arm is

00:19:39only operating at sort of 50%

00:19:42of its normal functionality of course

00:19:44the ongoing issues that Mike's had

00:19:46with his right shoulder his right

00:19:47upper arm from Jerez in 2020

00:19:49Marco Betzecchi has been carrying a

00:19:51rather nasty left knee injury

00:19:53suffered in that horrible Q2 high side

00:19:56in Germany which also fractured the

00:19:57collar bone that's still bothering him

00:19:59so none of our title contenders

00:20:01are fighting for this championship

00:20:03in peak physical shade

00:20:05and it's a bit of a laugh there from

00:20:06Jorge Martin's crew chief Danielia Romagnoli

00:20:08he's just scribbling down in his

00:20:10notepad that doesn't look like a Jorge

00:20:12Martin who's feeding back about his

00:20:13physical condition does it that

00:20:15looks like a Jorge Martin feeding back

00:20:16on how he's I guess feeling on the

00:20:19bike how the bike is responding to

00:20:22this supplying circuit cause

00:20:24competing is one thing actually

00:20:26being competitive is quite another

00:20:28and Jorge Martin won't just want to

00:20:29ride around at the back of the field

00:20:31this weekend if he's going to take part

00:20:32he'll want to take part believing he

00:20:34can actually score some solid points

00:20:36yeah I'm sure they've done what a

00:20:38bike fit for him last night that

00:20:39got him into position into all the

00:20:42different positions when you are out

00:20:44on circuit just sort of checking if

00:20:46he wanted maybe a handlebar position

00:20:48tweaker a brake lever tweak I'm sure

00:20:49he went out this morning with

00:20:50everything set as normal familiarity

00:20:52would have been key for Hoy and then

00:20:54probably the throughout this session

00:20:56or certainly between the two sessions

00:20:57if he does continue this afternoon

00:21:00they'll be able to make some maybe

00:21:02ergonomic tweaks to make him a

00:21:03little bit more comfortable

00:21:05moving forward into the weekend

00:21:07I mean as we mentioned I mean just

00:21:09the fact that he's gone out the

00:21:10fact that he's even still here and

00:21:12not back in Europe already starting

00:21:14what's potentially a long long

00:21:15rehab is a miracle chapeau once

00:21:18again to Martin let's go an update

00:21:20though from the Spaniard from Jack

00:21:22down in pit lane morning buddy

00:21:23yeah good morning to everybody I'm

00:21:25stood right at the back of the box

00:21:26and as you guys rightly predicted you

00:21:28you can see now Dr Angel Charter

00:21:30MotoGP medical director speaking to

00:21:32Jorge Martin but as soon as he sat

00:21:34down he pointed at the track map he

00:21:36started talking about the bike

00:21:37behavior out of turn four which

00:21:39produced a wry smile on the face of

00:21:41Massimo Riebler so much so such was

00:21:43his confidence that things are not as

00:21:45bad as they feared that he took a

00:21:47cursory glance away and a step aside

00:21:49from the debrief and I think there was

00:21:51probably a big sigh of relief coming

00:21:52from Massimo Riebler the communication

00:21:54the conversation ongoing at the moment

00:21:57with Dr Angel Charter alongside

00:21:59Jorge Martin's own personal physio

00:22:01with Dr Angel Charter just at the

00:22:03moment checking just how much

00:22:04pressure he's able to put through

00:22:06that right thumb and that right wrist

00:22:07you might have seen on some of the

00:22:08slow-mo shots as well that that

00:22:10position didn't look particularly

00:22:11natural for guys at home if you

00:22:13lock your wrist and move your

00:22:15forearm and your elbow up to try and

00:22:18make some kind of movement with that

00:22:20wrist to be able to twist the

00:22:21throttle it looked as though that is

00:22:23exactly what Jorge Martin was doing

00:22:25showing that there is obviously

00:22:26given the injury some sort of

00:22:28inability to move the wrist as freely

00:22:30as he would like but as his own

00:22:32personal physio and Dr Angel

00:22:34Charter step away the helmet remains

00:22:36on the glove remains on it looks as

00:22:37though for a first run it's a

00:22:38positive one for Jorge Martin

00:22:41thanks very much Jack

00:22:43Jorge Martin the 28 year old from

00:22:45Madrid they don't really come much

00:22:47tougher than the Martinator he was

00:22:50born tough Ralph Fernandes another

00:22:52rider who's very much walking wounded

00:22:55sort of a bit of grimace from the face

00:22:59of Fernandes it looks like maybe

00:23:01out come the ear plows you can still

00:23:03see what three weeks out of that

00:23:05Indonesian sprint where he suffered

00:23:06those broken right fingers in the

00:23:08right hand this is going to be a test

00:23:10this is right at the end of the

00:23:11start finish rate decelerating from

00:23:13340 km an hour down to first gear

00:23:17second gear here 70 km an hour and he

00:23:19just can't squeeze the brake can he

00:23:21it's just too too painful you just

00:23:24wonder whether Ralph Fernandes having

00:23:26withdrawn last weekend after the

00:23:29sprint in Phillip Island whether his

00:23:31Malaysian Grand Prix might sadly and

00:23:33might unfortunately be coming to a

00:23:35rather premature conclusion

00:23:36yeah it's just as he shakes his

00:23:38right hand there just on the way out

00:23:39of so when you see now from the

00:23:40onboard shot there you go straight away

00:23:42he's just in absolute agony with that

00:23:45right hand the riders just the

00:23:46mindset they're in they almost feel

00:23:48like they owe it to themselves to

00:23:49give it a go but as the letters

00:23:51come off for Ralph Fernandes Dr.

00:23:53Angel Chartre who's getting in the

00:23:55steps this morning he's moved across

00:23:56from the factory Aprilia box to the

00:23:58track house Aprilia box and at what

00:24:00point did track house even step in

00:24:01here and say Ralph enough's enough

00:24:03he looks like he's seen a ghost

00:24:04poor lad he looks like he has seen a

00:24:07ghost as we looked at those live

00:24:09pictures inside the track house

00:24:11garage obviously just sure what's

00:24:14going to happen what's going to

00:24:15unfold in the final half an hour of

00:24:16this session but clearly already

00:24:18Ralph Fernandes not entertaining a

00:24:21rapid return to the Spang

00:24:22international circuit is he at all

00:24:24there's he just stripped himself

00:24:26down to his waist in the

00:24:27leathers Dr. Angel Chartre at the

00:24:29manager GP medic immediately on the

00:24:31scene it didn't look good though

00:24:32didn't it for poor old Ralph

00:24:34Fernandes I mean when you think

00:24:36about how much he suffered in

00:24:37Australia certainly not helped by the

00:24:39big bruising free practice one crash

00:24:40this time last week down under but

00:24:43the fact that it seems that this

00:24:44injury has just got worse and worse

00:24:46and worse it just shows what a

00:24:48truly out of this world ride he

00:24:50produced to finish second and leave

00:24:52for so much of that mandalika

00:24:53Grand Prix over in Indonesia when the

00:24:55injury was fresh it seemed like he

00:24:57could deal with the pain he could

00:24:58sort of cope with the the searing

00:25:00agony but as that injury has evolved

00:25:03and as he's done more riding more

00:25:05pushing these 300 horsepower motor

00:25:07GP bikes to their absolute limits

00:25:08sometimes the body just can't can't

00:25:11hang in there any longer the body

00:25:12just cries no more Ralph Fernandes

00:25:14then leaves the track house of

00:25:16earlier box we remind you we said

00:25:17at the start session his condition

00:25:19was subject to a review at the end

00:25:21of this free practice one session

00:25:23and I don't hold out but an awful lot

00:25:25of hope at the moment for that

00:25:26review just judging by the body

00:25:28language of the 25 yeah it's a real

00:25:31tough watch isn't it to see Ralph

00:25:33Fernandes struggling and suffering

00:25:35as much as what he is well as we

00:25:37just mentioned there are very much

00:25:38walking wounded down at Aprile

00:25:40aren't they right now no guarantee

00:25:41that Ralph Fernandes and Jorge

00:25:43Martin will be participating

00:25:45throughout this Malaysian Grand Prix

00:25:47weekend let's get some early

00:25:49thoughts here at this free practice

00:25:50one from the boss Paolo Benora who

00:25:52joins Jack yeah great to be joined

00:25:54by Paolo first laps done for Jorge

00:25:56Martin obvious first question Paolo

00:25:57how was the wrist yeah not easy not

00:26:00easy for sure he said clearly to us

00:26:04step by step guys we have to

00:26:08understand the way to manage the

00:26:11pain this morning he did only something

00:26:16related to the bandage he take he

00:26:20took anti-inflammatory and painkiller

00:26:22not not so much so in order to

00:26:27understand in a better way how to

00:26:29manage the bike but yeah the key is to

00:26:33wait and we will see during the session

00:26:35now we can manage manage the

00:26:37situation manage the power manage the

00:26:39movement the changing direction will

00:26:41not be easy after that first lap what

00:26:44did he say the pain levels were like

00:26:45how did he have to change his riding

00:26:48style given the injury yeah at the

00:26:50moment is managing in a very good way he

00:26:54said clearly I expect to be worse in the

00:26:57first but the key now is to wait after

00:27:02many laps because probably two or three

00:27:04laps he can manage but after it will be

00:27:07very very difficult so what's the plan

00:27:09now until the end of the session take it

00:27:13easy for sure not the push so much don't

00:27:17make a lot of laps in order to be with a

00:27:22to have a little bit more energy for the

00:27:25for the practice thanks paula thanks

00:27:27yeah thanks very much jack thanks to

00:27:30paula banora i mean hoi martin has got

00:27:32to face 30 long and punishing race

00:27:36laps here this weekend in malaysia

00:27:38tomorrow at 3 p.m local time will be

00:27:40lights out for the 10-lap sprint and

00:27:42then as always double the distance here

00:27:43on sunday over 20 laps i mean what's he

00:27:46contending with i mean the official

00:27:48medical diagnosis of hoi martin is a

00:27:50distal radius fracture commonly known to

00:27:53most of us as a broken wrist it's a

00:27:55breaking the larger forearm bone close to

00:27:58the wrist joint the most common cause

00:28:01of that is a fall onto an outstretched

00:28:03hand symptoms include immediate pain

00:28:05tenderness rapid onset swelling around

00:28:08the wrist so yes just to give you an

00:28:12indication of just what hoi martin is

00:28:14going to have to contend with here this

00:28:15weekend he is though fair play to him

00:28:17soldiering on he's plowing on just you

00:28:19knew he would do he's one of

00:28:20motogp's ultimate gladiators isn't he

00:28:23one of motogp's ultimate warriors

00:28:26nothing nothing it was going to seem

00:28:28going to keep this young man off that

00:28:29are brilliant at the moment well that

00:28:31sign said jorge martin 2026 world

00:28:33champion he's not there yet but take it

00:28:36from us make no mistake if by the end of

00:28:38valencia in a month's time jorge

00:28:40martin is lifting the tower of champions

00:28:42as motogp world champion he will have

00:28:45absolutely earned it he will have been

00:28:47through the kind of experience that

00:28:49none of us could even in our worst of

00:28:51nightmares begin to imagine the pain and

00:28:54discomfort that he's having to go through

00:28:56right now but that's the only thing he

00:28:58knows it's the only thing moto gp

00:29:00riders know is to go to the limit of

00:29:04your pain threshold and then push through

00:29:06it so this is martin then the start of

00:29:10his second run while we're on the subject

00:29:12of injuries and walking wounded let's cover

00:29:14up a bit of a housekeeping shall we because

00:29:16there is a fair bit to get to luca

00:29:18marini a factory honda colleague to this

00:29:21rider we're seeing on screens right now

00:29:22juan me is back in action this weekend

00:29:23of course he did just two laps in

00:29:25philip island last time out before

00:29:28retiring from the weekend no finger

00:29:30rather bizarre marini was saying this

00:29:32virus that he seemed to have been struck

00:29:34down by down under no finger and foot

00:29:37movement he likened it to arthritis it was

00:29:40really rather concerning uh for luca

00:29:42marini who hopefully this weekend will

00:29:44finally make his 200th grand prix start

00:29:46and we do welcome back a 29 year old

00:29:49Spaniard juan mir of course who has

00:29:51missed the last four grand prix at the

00:29:53red bull ring in martaigi mandalica and

00:29:56in philip island he hasn't actually it's

00:29:58the first time mir has been on a

00:29:59motor gp bike since september the 13th

00:30:02at the arrow but the misano grand prix i

00:30:05should say he did reveal yesterday

00:30:07mir that he has been suffering from

00:30:10chronic fatigue issues some rather

00:30:13nasty sounding vision issues as well

00:30:15they all sound like they're sort of

00:30:16stress related vision and fatigue issues

00:30:19but good to see mir is back in action

00:30:21here this weekend of course no top

00:30:23rack rasgatlioglu we know his season

00:30:25over after his dislocated shoulder

00:30:27over in mandlika his place prima

00:30:30yamaha once again goes to augusto

00:30:32fernandez the former motor 2 world

00:30:34champion yamaha's test rider and

00:30:36still no firmin aldeguer who was crown

00:30:39rookie of the year he made a gp here

00:30:4012 months ago in sepang the broken

00:30:43right hand that aldeguer suffered in

00:30:45that bizarre crash when he punched the

00:30:47tarmac in frustration in mandlika

00:30:50sees him still missing for guzzini

00:30:51ducati iqlaqiuona world superbike

00:30:54championship runner-up in 2026 once

00:30:56again stepping in for him let's go back

00:30:59down to jack though and get an update

00:31:00on ralph fernandez yeah as you guys

00:31:02assumed we've now just had official

00:31:04confirmation from the team ralph

00:31:05fernandez out for the remainder of

00:31:08this malaysian grand prix weekend he's

00:31:10in the back of the box now talking to

00:31:11his team in his usual team clothing i'm

00:31:14stood in a queue with a whole host of

00:31:16other broadcasters hoping to speak to

00:31:18david abrivio inside the next five

00:31:20minutes just so we can hear what the

00:31:21next steps will be for ralph fernandez

00:31:23but confirmation that the spaniards out of

00:31:26the malaysian grand prix thanks jack

00:31:28unfortunately news we didn't want to

00:31:30hear but news that we certainly feared

00:31:32you could just tell from the expression

00:31:33on his face when he sat down slumped in

00:31:36his chair and started speaking to his

00:31:37crew chief and noe herrera and also

00:31:39speaking to official motor gp medic

00:31:41doctor angel stracha there was just no

00:31:43way that he could fight through the pain

00:31:45barrier push through the pain barrier

00:31:47once again so fernandez's weekend over

00:31:49after just five laps around the sepang

00:31:52international circuit fair place a

00:31:53minute the five laps he did were pretty

00:31:55rapid at two zero zero point five a

00:31:58one but weekend over for the 26 year old

00:32:01spaniel i guess we have to say as well

00:32:02now major major doubts about whether he

00:32:04will be fit to participate in round 20

00:32:07at the la salle international circuit in

00:32:09Qatar next weekend it just sounds like

00:32:11louis he needs a a period of rest

00:32:14mandelica philip island the short five

00:32:16laps this morning have been absolute

00:32:18hell for ralph anandis he has been

00:32:19riding in agony sound like he just

00:32:21needs to go home get a bit of r and r

00:32:23and rest those fingers for our final

00:32:25two european rounds in portama and

00:32:27valentia at the end of next month and

00:32:28as he demonstrated and said to us

00:32:29last weekend in philip island that the

00:32:31more laps he's doing the more he's

00:32:32potentially damaging his finger as

00:32:35that inflammation begins to flare up

00:32:37once again jorge martin he's about to

00:32:39lift himself up the order now he's

00:32:40he goes up into 19th place he's

00:32:43actually gone ahead of ayagura on the

00:32:45track house of prettier in this

00:32:47session he's two and a half seconds

00:32:48off the pace is jorge martin but just

00:32:51the fact that he's doing this is

00:32:52impressive enough and just every of

00:32:55course with the potential changes to

00:32:56the bike potential further

00:32:57understanding of just how he can try

00:32:59and compensate with his body to

00:33:01manage the situation will all just be

00:33:03useful information to hoi martin was

00:33:05optimistic and promising initial

00:33:07feedback from the box down in pink

00:33:10lane from aprilia the hoi martin from

00:33:13paulo bonora confirming that the pain

00:33:14is not as bad as he expected it's like a

00:33:18silly human reaction but every time i see

00:33:20hoi martin knowing how much pain is in

00:33:21every time he breaks i'm wincing myself

00:33:24in the comedy box it's ridiculous

00:33:26you're just sort of like watching it

00:33:28through your fingers aren't you here

00:33:29as pedro acosta the factory ktm star

00:33:33fourth in the world championship coming

00:33:35into this malaysian grand prix happy

00:33:38memories of sepang here last year for

00:33:39the 22 year old spaniard he was second

00:33:41in the grand prix third in the sprint

00:33:43one of only six double podiums across

00:33:47the grand prix weekend that acosta has

00:33:48managed in 58 he's one of a handful of

00:33:52riders this morning having an early look

00:34:342026 ral fernandez having to withdraw

00:34:37from the malaysian grand prix having

00:34:39complete just five painful laps in

00:34:41free practice for this morning let's get

00:34:42some thoughts from the boss davide brivio

00:34:44with jack

00:34:45yeah davide is aigura teammate to ral fernandez

00:34:48just exit over our right hand shoulder

00:34:50a huge shame that raul out for the

00:34:52remainder of the the weekend just talk

00:34:54us through what the next steps are going

00:34:56to be for him now with obviously

00:34:58catar next weekend and port of mount valencia

00:35:00a couple of weeks after that yeah raul has

00:35:03been judged uh fit yesterday under review to

00:35:07be reviewed this morning but the pain is

00:35:10too much i mean somehow he's in the most

00:35:13critical phase of his fracture process

00:35:15because now is when the fracture is going

00:35:18to be held to be fixed and this is the most delicate

00:35:23where you feel more pain and also without saying

00:35:29that a crash can compromise a lot of the situation

00:35:33so dr charter came here he checked and talked to raul and he

00:35:38declared unfit for this weekend so we will take this opportunity

00:35:42send him back as soon as possible and work in spain with his

00:35:47and the proper equipment in order to get fixed for qatar

00:35:53i mean this is a looks to be seems to be according to the doctor the

00:35:57crucial week for to getting fixed and so we try to use as much as possible

00:36:04these days these coming days and getting back to qatar

00:36:08the good news is does it sound like surgery is required

00:36:11does it sound like surgery is necessary just basically just needs to let the finger rest

00:36:16yeah yeah probably needs to go under manutenity hyperbaric chamber

00:36:22whatever whatever it is as much as possible all the treatment

00:36:26but this week can be very important for the

00:36:31to get a fix let's say so let's do that

00:36:34thanks davide appreciate it

00:36:36thanks jack thanks to davide brivia yeah we certainly hope for a speedy recovery

00:36:41to ralph and anders and we certainly hope that in seven days time a week today

00:36:45he will be fit to participate or at least start next weekend's grand prix of qatar

00:36:52before he's about to exit for the third time here this morning in free practice one

00:36:57we just saw there once again a constant companion for jorge martin right now isn't he

00:37:01the doctor angel chartre for he's managing their injury

00:37:05i mean every single tv broadcaster here has been forming an orderly queue to get to speak to palvinora

00:37:11he's managing injury very well he said he expected worse the plan now is to push a lot

00:37:15not do too many laps to save energy for practice

00:37:19unreal just unreal what he's doing out there right now jorge martin i mean with the broken right wrist

00:37:26he's still got vinales agura and lecuona behind him on the timing screen so far this morning

00:37:31many riders uh many disciplines around the world who would give their right arm the right arm that jorge

00:37:37martin has broken for a 201 uh 285 lap of sepang which jorge martin has already done this morning

00:37:44saving his energy for practice of course because that is the session this afternoon the one hour practice

00:37:49session later on which determines the ten riders that automatically go through to qualifying two

00:37:55it's almost doesn't bear thinking about the possibility that martin could achieve that and get himself into qualifying two

00:38:00but of course if he is able to do that this afternoon he would save himself 15 minutes of work

00:38:05in qualifying tomorrow morning

00:38:06there's uh angel chartre there's an alpine stars technician there with a blonde hair with a red shirt

00:38:11just behind uh holy martin so there might be some adjustments here being made to his riding equipment

00:38:17of course it's an evolving situation every single lap

00:38:20but jorge martin is going to be understanding what he needs physically

00:38:25and what he needs from himself and the bike position wise to get the most comfortable

00:38:29that's what it's all about he knows he's going to be riding in pain

00:38:32that's an accepted risk it's an accepted hazard of being a mother gp racer

00:38:37so he knew the way the cards have fallen this weekend he knew he's going to be riding in pain

00:38:40it's just all about now making himself as comfortable as he possibly can

00:38:44so maybe an adjustment to the gloves maybe an adjustment to the sort of lower arm

00:38:49maybe x maybe make it less tighter on the forearm as well because that could be a factor

00:38:54so i wouldn't be surprised if there's some uh some suit adjustments from alpine stars uh for hall

00:38:59this is a rapidly evolving situation which will change lap by lap

00:39:03you saw there didn't we a doctor angel chartre in the white shirt

00:39:05feeding back some comments to massimo rieveler

00:39:08between the racing ceo and alpine stars there right on cue

00:39:11as you'd expect they would be ready uh to implement some uh rather rapid changes

00:39:16rather rapid modifications to jorge martin's racing equipment

00:39:20yeah but it's all the uh riding equipment providers of which of course uh alpine stars are on

00:39:25we're already on board with uh marco matecki who's uh running dain easy leather

00:39:28you can see just the logo uh just uh below his lower back and they're well versed in this

00:39:34of course these manufacturers they're used to providing equipment for riders who are injured in some way

00:39:39and are trying to either mitigate or just block out any sort of pain uh that they're suffering from

00:39:45or discomfort trying to ride the bikes in a very different way which requires uh riding equipment

00:39:51that accommodates that so that's essentially the situation that jorge martin is in

00:39:55we were chatting on fair while we're hearing from uh david a bribeo there

00:39:58and we saw the box in the top of the fan corner with jorge martin

00:40:00if you just looked at his facial expression you didn't know the context you wouldn't even know he was injured

00:40:05because he's not showing any obvious visible signs of pain at the moment through the little letter box

00:40:11through the crash helmet that we're able to look at when he has his visor open uh down there at

00:40:16aprilia

00:40:17it almost looks in a perverse sort of way as if jorge martin is relishing the challenge

00:40:22every single manufacturer of riding equipment here across the board in mana gp whether it be boots

00:40:28whether it be leathers whether it be gloves whether it be helmets whether it be chest protectors

00:40:32back protectors you name it they all have dedicated on-site service teams at every single Grand Prix

00:40:39which allows them to react to situations exactly what jorge martin is going through right now

00:40:45i mean these better gp bikes we're told that they are estimated value they are prototyped

00:40:52built purely for racing you can't walk down your local showroom and ask to buy a jorge martin

00:40:57rs gp or a mark marcus factory ducati the estimates on how much these bike cost is around a million

00:41:02euros

00:41:03to 1.5 million euros would never underestimate the power and influence of a good old-fashioned sewing machine

00:41:09on the modern gp world challenge because that will possibly that's what it's going to be called into action

00:41:13very very soon if hoy martin wants some leather adjustments or some blunt adjustments the old sewing machine's

00:41:19to come to rescue again comes in awfully handy of course all of the developments that get made to

00:41:24levers to boots to gloves to crash helmets of course that all does naturally feed back into the equipment

00:41:29that you will ride on on your motorcycles at home you in many respects on the roads are as safe

00:41:36as you've

00:41:36ever been in your right equipment because of the development of technology that are made by the likes of

00:41:41by denizi etc in providing the fastest and as we're seeing today the bravest riders in the world with

00:41:49the very best equipment to try and go out there and compete yeah our five stars day needs of course

00:41:54at the

00:41:54forefront of the airbag technology which there's so much now not just to protect the world's best riders but

00:42:01road riders back all over the world as well there's been some incredible advances on there in safety equipment

00:42:07down the years and right at the forefront of it has been mother gp as we look at an eco

00:42:12like a won't up

00:42:13the spanish rider deputizing once again for fermin aldeguer missing on board that gazzini ducati

00:42:20because of his bizarre incident when he crashed out of contention in mandalica three weeks ago and in

00:42:25frustration as he was sliding across the tarmac at turn 16 giving the tarmac a proper good oh blimey some

00:42:32aero front front fenders drops off the front fender there i mean you are going down that back straight

00:42:38here in malaysia it's well over 340 kilometers an hour but yeah the front fender has decided to park

00:42:43company uh with uh lakona's bk was he the catty we don't expect well we're hoping there's been no

00:42:50confirmation as yet about whether aldeguer 2025 mila gp rookie of the year will be fit and fully recovered to

00:42:58return uh to catar next time out of course he's had an injury ravaged campaign hasn't he uh aldeguer

00:43:04this is the sixth grand prix he's missing this year with three completely different injuries

00:43:09injuries left femur testing in valencia in january and fracture of his t7 vertebrae and he's back in

00:43:16acid like that red flag is out because of the debris i can only shoot just as jorge martin has

00:43:20left pitlane uh to go

00:43:22back out for another run there's clearly a bit of grassini ducati littered along the back straight between turns 14

00:43:27and 15

00:43:27so uh the session has been suspended that will just give the marshals that little bit of all the time

00:43:34they need in the safest possible way uh to retrieve that some of that debris which uh johann mir

00:43:42and jogo morea rather the brazilian just uh manages to take avoiding action so all these riders then now

00:43:49as uh per protocol as soon as you have the red flag you must make your way immediately if you

00:43:54can do so

00:43:55back to pitlane so that red flag that slight disruption then we'll just give the trackside

00:44:00marshals he does such phenomenal work here volunteering at circuits all around the world

00:44:06leco on there just making sure that disintegrating offender didn't cause any

00:44:09additional damage to the bodywork of his ducati gp26

00:44:14here's the look of it you'll just see see the front fender covering the uh front tire there just

00:44:19disintegrating on its way down to the final corner one of the vr46 ducati riders had a face full of

00:44:25it

00:44:25as he was making his way uh down the uh back straight so a rather naked uh front tire uh

00:44:31for uh ike lakona

00:44:32who's having a good look to his left hand side who might not be fully aware at this stage just

00:44:36what flew off

00:44:37he looked like he might have got a bit of a whack there on the boat he looked like he

00:44:40was just going

00:44:41down to i mean at that speed i mean it's only his carbon fiber that fender so it's super light

00:44:47of course they try and make these motorcycles as light as they possibly can because the lighter they

00:44:51are the faster they are but you could just see their leco owner i mean when even sort of a

00:44:55carbon

00:44:55fiber part disintegrates it over 300 kilometers an hour when it makes contact with your boot it's gonna

00:45:01hurt it's gonna be a bit of an unexpected jolt on that leg for leco now you see him back

00:45:07in the pit

00:45:07and he looks a-okay so he wasn't expecting that though as he was attacking that braking zone

00:45:12this is jorge martin now going through that particular part of the racetrack uh i'd say i

00:45:16thought he might be going to slightly slower uh than that uh given that that was where the uh

00:45:21debris uh was but jorge martin uh back into pit lane that couldn't have come at the worst time

00:45:25really that for jorge martin who was uh meters out of the pit exit uh when the session was stopped

00:45:31you could just see that jorge as he looked down to his right hander bar just engaging the pit lane

00:45:37speed limiter button of course all the manufacturers they have to carry that button it's mandatory as

00:45:43you are coming to a white line designated every single circuit as you enter pit lane there's an

00:45:48automatic system which just cuts and retards the power down to 60 kilometers an hour of course depending

00:45:55on the different manufacturers it'll be or in the right of preference it'll be positioned in different

00:45:59parts of the the handlebar setup so martin you could just saw in there just stretch out that that right

00:46:05hand that right wrist there's his father angel martin with the 89 polo shirt on saw him yesterday here

00:46:12in the supang paddock having a very long discussion with uh gp medic dr angel chartret i dare say when

00:46:19jorge martin left the pit lane there he didn't realize at that stage what the red flag was for

00:46:23uh so perhaps wouldn't have been quite aware when he was coming out of turn 14 of the debris up

00:46:28ahead

00:46:28of him that has now been cleared though and free practice one uh will restart at 11 23 local time

00:46:33you can now see that on your screen so that is in 80 seconds from now

00:46:42so a slight pause in proceedings before under somewhat cloudy skies happy to report that we

00:46:47do have some blue sky peeking through some heavy cloud cover because as always in this part of the

00:46:52world we were treated to a spectacular uh storm here last night when we left the circuit just after 7pm

00:46:57the sky being lit up by spectacular lightning there was some big big claps of thunder let's go down and

00:47:04get an early check on how the world championship leader is faring this morning in free practice

00:47:08upon here in supang so far so good it looks like because mark marquez the only rider so far before

00:47:12the red flag to find a lap in the 158 let's get some early thoughts from the boss davide tardarts

00:47:18here's with jack yeah close to half second advantage for mark marquez at this early stage which is a

00:47:22pretty impressive start we'll touch on that in a second just firstly davide you've seen mark come back

00:47:28from injury after injury even in the short time that he's been with the factory ducati squad so

00:47:33i'm sure you're pretty impressed at what you're seeing down in the aprilio box this morning and

00:47:37the mentality this toughness that jorge martin is showing yeah as i already said that we know very

00:47:43well jorge is a hero he's a fighter so i'm sure that he will try hard to collect at least

00:47:50one point

00:47:50maybe hope for him that will be more but yeah we we knew before that jorge was going to do

00:47:58it in terms of

00:47:59mark so often he's told us that this supang venue maybe doesn't suit him and his riding style but

00:48:04the time sheets tell a different story this morning is it fair to say he's clicked pretty early

00:48:09on here yeah i guess that everybody now is uh on the first uh uh settings or maybe somebody will

00:48:18uh

00:48:18will improve his time while uh on our side

00:48:31just finally i've not really spoken to you about peco bagnaya too often over the last couple of weeks

00:48:37because it's been such a uh a horrible sight to see really for someone of his talent level to be

00:48:43struggling as much as he is but it was nice to see yesterday that he had a smile back on

00:48:48his face

00:48:49this is a venue he's been successful at of course victorious in the sprint last year fasting pre-season

00:48:54as well this feels like a a big weekend for him to try and re-find some confidence it's obvious

00:48:59that uh

00:49:01him first of uh of all is uh uh asking a lot on this race track from himself but uh

00:49:09in the end

00:49:10we do expect uh he will be competitive because uh these right these race track it suit perfectly

00:49:15our bike and uh and his riding style so the package is there then uh then we'll see thanks

00:49:22have a day good luck thank you thanks jack thanks to factory the katie lenovo team boss

00:49:26uh daviday told obviously for those observations they know they all know uh what a warrior jorge

00:49:32martin is they saw him push peka bagnaya all the way to ultimately winning the world championship

00:49:37when he was on a pram at the katie didn't he back in 2024 they know exactly the skills that

00:49:42that

00:49:43young man blesses so they will know that you can never ever write off jorge martin you can never

00:49:49discount this guy when the chips are down it's almost like when the more you push jorge martin's

00:49:54back up against the wall the more you stick him on the ropes the more he comes out fighting the

00:49:59more

00:49:59he comes out swinging the more adverse the situation gets the more he relishes it he kind of loves that

00:50:04underdog tag doesn't he yeah and he's been through plenty of uh dramatic experiences here at the

00:50:11sapang national circuit that the jorge martin story uh has several chapters around spang won the

00:50:16moto 3 world championship here in 2018 when ironically he was battling marco betsecki uh his

00:50:23current aprilia teammate for the world championship and of course his aprilia journey uh began here with

00:50:29a dramatic high side in just 12 laps of pre-season testing at the start of 2025 because that was

00:50:35where

00:50:35his injury hell of 2025 began so whatever hoi martin does uh this sapang circuit just appears to be central

00:50:43to his story and yeah as you say he thrives on pushing through adversity but surely he hasn't

00:50:50been through adversity quite like this before he's also had the unfortunate circumstance of crashing out

00:50:57of the lead here wasn't he in 2022 when he was 1.2 seconds clear max biaggi well there's not

00:51:04a lot

00:51:04max as i've seen and here's long connect connections with the mana gp world championship mana gp legend

00:51:09four times 250 cc world champion one of the stack of races in mana gp and in world super bikes

00:51:16one of

00:51:17the rare grand prix and world super bike champions back in the day still very much an integral part of

00:51:23aprilia playing an ambassadorial role uh for the nawali factory and he will be impressed he'll be be

00:51:30impressed by what he's seeing from martin or sort of lower body wise he looks perfectly normal doesn't

00:51:38he when he's braking for turn four out goes the very uh distinctive air brake leg dangle uh from

00:51:44martin that was him braking hard into turn four which is a real tricky braking zone that because as

00:51:50you approach turn four you're already in fifth gear about 280 kilometers an hour and it's an uphill

00:51:55braking zone that so you've got to really be really have to be careful with the front end see a

00:51:59few

00:51:59riders run wide or watch the front out of turn four because you're decelerating almost 200 k's down

00:52:05from fifth to second gear he's managing this at the moment quite superable isn't he martin his head

00:52:10will be telling him to push uh his right arm will be telling him not to it's this case of

00:52:14whether his

00:52:15heart uh overrules the rest of his body martin now making his way through the long right-handed

00:52:21sequence of turns 10 and 11 and now in a to a part of the circuit where when you're fully

00:52:26fit this requires

00:52:27plenty of commitment the high speed turn 12 13 sequence taken in third gear and about 160 kilometers

00:52:34an hour now into turn 15 and this is a lot that Jorge Martin this might move him up into

00:52:40the sort of

00:52:40uh top 13 top 14 if he keeps this going i mean the best time we've seen so far from

00:52:46Marc Marquez is a

00:52:48158 so let's say 118 seconds you're on the brakes around so pan for 35 seconds you're doing an awful

00:52:55lot

00:52:55of time holding on to that front brake lever it's not just the fact that the braking zones are

00:53:01aggressive there's a lot of deceleration forces they are long braking zones where you're holding on to

00:53:06that front brake for a good three or four seconds which is just going to be adding to the pain

00:53:11for

00:53:11martin this time around he does decide to back out of it just ringing that little bit hot on that

00:53:17run

00:53:17down to the first corner i mean he's now 16th he's ahead okay yeah he's ahead of two world champions

00:53:23me is a bit ring rusty because he's missed the last four grand prix uh through stress-related fatigue and

00:53:29vision issues fabio quite a rather there's nothing wrong with fabio other than the fact that he's on a

00:53:33rather uncompetitive factory yamaha right now morbidelli augura augusto fernandez nicole

00:53:39one the two replacement riders i mean martin's on a two zero zero point seven four seven he's half a

00:53:46second off the top six on this all hey martin zarko's sixth on a two zero zero one five three

00:53:51martin on

00:53:52a two zero zero seven uh in 16th place if you just looked at that one image you'd be wondering

00:53:59what

00:53:59all the fuss was about but believe me that is a whole hey martin far from his physical best

00:54:04mark marquez said himself yesterday as these guys are well versed and they know mark said himself

00:54:10adrenaline that is the world's ultimate painkiller if you could bottle adrenaline uh you'd be a

00:54:16billionaire overnight so this man he knows what it is like that to push brain and body right to its

00:54:24edge mark marquez this has been a brilliant opening session hasn't it from the number 93 at the early

00:54:31158.912 on lap three of 12 this is just mark going through his master plan this is mark and

00:54:38his factory

00:54:38ducati team just running their normal program the normal strategy won't have changed tires but second

00:54:44across nothing to buy those two in second they have set the exact same lap time which is some feet

00:54:49around a 5.5 kilometer layout those two shared a 159.386 yeah 15 different corners we were talking

00:54:58about different tire combinations different bikes different aero different riders on board

00:55:03and they're still lapping the circuit in absolute identical time and as i mentioned earlier on in the

00:55:07session for mark marquez he's just got to ignore the obvious uh focus that will be on jorge martin

00:55:14this weekend and his fractured arm and march has got to do his own job here this weekend

00:55:18because the worst thing mark marquez could do now is make a silly mistake this weekend score no points

00:55:24and let jorge martin essentially off the hook so mark it it sounds like a very mean thing to say

00:55:30but

00:55:30it's a crew crucial crew business at the end of the day that fighting for a world championship

00:55:34mark marquez has to go up there and try and dish out maximum points punishment to jorge martin

00:55:40they might be as a softness when we come to this tropical climate of malaysia a potential

00:55:46rain disruption coming there is rain forecast uh for periods of tomorrow just a reminder 3 pm local

00:55:53time will be the 10 lap sprint if it the rain hits in the morning well it could be a

00:55:57wet qualifying q1

00:55:59uh 10 50 a.m local time and that of course will then be followed immediately by our fight for

00:56:04pole

00:56:05position 19 q2 at 11 15 a.m local time there are forecasts for thunderstorms potentially in this part

00:56:12of the world this part of southeast asia on sunday this phenomenal serious thunderstorms around here

00:56:17yeah they are we saw them we witnessed the first time last night when we made about a hundred meter

00:56:21walk from the media center to our car and when we got there we were like drowned rats i mean

00:56:28it looked

00:56:28like we'd taken the ice bucket challenge once again but to the extreme yeah we were absolutely sodden we

00:56:34were drenched my train is actually going to say still trying to dry out and this was uh what about

00:56:4018

00:56:40hours ago when we left the circuit last night so yeah it's certainly i think it's some flights

00:56:44actually with delay coming into the nearby quala lupa international airport nothing's going to stop

00:56:49mark marquez flying right now there is as he looks to uh show more consistent pace his last lap was

00:56:56a

00:56:56two zero zero point five one five this is with 13 laps on those tires this is pedro costa trying

00:57:03to

00:57:03go with mark marquez and very nearly going down the front end that took for an age there a shake

00:57:09of the

00:57:09head from pedro costa asking himself how did i save that

00:57:14yeah that was a nice one that's not a one to add to the costa save collection

00:57:20it's just digging the older knee in there wasn't his crew chief paul trevathan

00:57:24uh watches on the action yeah costa started this weekend strongly hasn't he

00:57:29having made the uh the podium twice here last year in both the grand prix

00:57:34and in the sprint you can see in there just going back through the gearbox you can tell how hard

00:57:38he was

00:57:38brain because you can see how aggressive that left leg came out to try and use it as an airbrake

00:57:42that's a

00:57:43cracking say that is a great save isn't it by a cost you could just check the angle of that

00:57:48front tire

00:57:48that was not the angle of that front tire was supposed to make yeah that's that's exactly

00:57:53that is the body language everybody was doing after they saw that brilliant super save from a costa

00:57:58wonderful to watch so jorge martin returns once again to the pretty box martine has done

00:58:0312 laps in this session which is not far off the busiest rider in this session his teammate

00:58:09marco betsecki is one of several who have done 15 laps jorge martin who admittedly has been in and out

00:58:16of the pits more often than anyone else so a lot of his laps have been out and ends but

00:58:20martin has

00:58:20exactly been uh limiting the mileage you have to say what's been quite notable at hoy martin as well as

00:58:25every time he's coming to pits he's not even taking his helmet or his gloves off he's not

00:58:30just paused for a breather i'm guessing because it's just too painful it will be too painful he's

00:58:36just trying to even limit the amount of times that yeah the sensible thing most riders would do in these

00:58:41extremely hot tropical conditions is to take the helm off get some fresh air get a cold towel draped

00:58:47around the neck get an ice pack on your head just to try and keep yourself cooled down in some

00:58:51of the

00:58:51most hottest and humid conditions we have well here we go that might well session over isn't it

00:58:55that is the first time then in the whole session that we've seen this from martin it's because

00:59:00there's only 50 seconds of it remaining superb stunning herculean effort brilliant

00:59:09yeah he wouldn't he wouldn't have wanted to have taken that glove off at any point before because

00:59:13just look how long it's taken i mean normally he wouldn't even think about that he'd released the strap

00:59:19around his wrist and he just tug his hand out no problem yeah i'll give the practice start session

00:59:24a miss i think is what jorge martin is saying to his team uh dan of course as always fp1

00:59:30a practice

00:59:30start session follows fp1 i would assume based on what we've just seen that jorge martin is deciding

00:59:35to sit that one out and the next few hours are going to be uh quite uh interesting aren't they

00:59:40for jorge martin of course the adrenaline still will be coursing through his body that will all seep

00:59:45away over the next uh three and a half hours before he's back out on track for practice

00:59:49this afternoon so the big question now will be how will jorge martin's body and more to the point how

00:59:54will jorge martin's right arm stand up uh to uh the lack of adrenaline that'll be going through his body

01:00:00uh as he rests up now for practice later i mean he did say himself that if he wasn't for

01:00:05the fact that

01:00:05the world title was still within his grasp if he was out of the world championship he'd be already back

01:00:11in

01:00:11andora starting uh his recovery you just look at what sort of non-surgical treatment options are

01:00:17uh for the fracture that uh distal radius fracture that hoy martin suffered in the philip island sprint

01:00:24i mean the normal treatment moving forward is you immobilize the wrist using a splint

01:00:29or a plaster cast for four to six weeks six days since he suffered that fracture he's muscling

01:00:37a 300 horsepower well it is it's the fastest grand prix motorcycle in history because jorge martin rode it

01:00:46to the fastest top speed ever in history at migello just shy of 370 kilometers an hour in the tuscany

01:00:52mountains here he is what six days later around one of the fastest tracks on the calendar there's a big

01:00:59ice pack going straight on that right wrist he is six days out of philip island setting the 20th best

01:01:06time

01:01:061.8 seconds back what a rider what a warrior what a gladiator what an effort

01:01:14what next for jorge martin who uh again he's describing with his with his hand movements there

01:01:21how the bike is performing rather than how his his arm is he's treating it almost as any other weekend

01:01:26trust us this is not a normal experience uh for jorge martin yeah a bit more preload on the front

01:01:33there

01:01:33yeah just uh harder spring on the rear i mean yeah he's going to be now pushing those april engineers

01:01:38he's going to be sitting looking at data in the lunch break to try and find out how he can

01:01:43find more

01:01:44speed sure there's going to be some uh equipment tweaks as well we saw didn't we alpine stars in

01:01:49there dr angel chartre once again immediately having a chat uh with the 28 year old spaniard of course a

01:01:57review now has to be uh carried out with jorge martin of course we've or we already know how the

01:02:01ralph and and his review has gone he is out if you're just joining us uh for the rest of

01:02:05the weekend

01:02:05ralph and and it was 17th in that fp1 session but the the pain and the inflammation on his finger

01:02:10too

01:02:10much uh he is out of the rest of the weekend a review will now take place to determine of

01:02:14course the

01:02:15decision might yet be taken out of jorge martin's hands but a review will now take place to determine

01:02:19whether he can continue in this weekend well having pushed himself right through the pain barrier for

01:02:26those 12 laps in free practice one i'd like to see anybody tell him that's his weekend over i would

01:02:31like to see anybody be brave enough uh to front martin up right now and say well i don't think

01:02:36you're

01:02:36going to be fit enough for this afternoon this is probably as good as what he could have hoped for

01:02:40really i mean yeah of course you very seldom see jorge martin uh down in 20th place in a session

01:02:47there

01:02:47was then uh angel chartre just feeding back what he thinks what he has observed back to a key uh

01:02:55aprilia figures of course his responsibility he's gonna have to practice start he's gonna go back

01:02:59out he is putting the helmet back on of course with that means he's got to get the gloves back

01:03:02on too

01:03:02as jorge martin who's uh just going through the normal ritual the normal procedure but yeah it's

01:03:07dr angel chartre who just demonstrated here last year of course with the uh jose antonio roeida

01:03:12noah debt wheeler incident in moto three of just what an integral job he does in this grand prix paddock

01:03:18his responsibility is to ensure that the riders are all safe there is angel martin father to jorge

01:03:27those two father and son completely inseparable every time you see jorge martin in the paddock as you can

01:03:34see there his dad having to help him do the chin strap on the helmet and now this agonizing process

01:03:41this is going to be hurting like hell look at the grimace look at the wince from jorge inside that

01:03:46helmet there as he tries to squeeze that glove on i'm sure right now behind the scenes in their service

01:03:52truck here or in their service tent rather their service marquee there'll be alpine stars will be

01:03:58carrying out some adjustments certainly to that right glove potentially uh for martin reacting as

01:04:04they all do all as all equipment manufacturers do reacting to ever changing circumstances for their

01:04:10riders a slightly easier task to get the left glove on but shows how much he's up for the fight

01:04:17he's

01:04:17going out for the practice starts yeah he's not leaving any stone and turn he's he's trying his best

01:04:21as he can to treat this as a normal grand prix weekend as impossible as that is for us mere

01:04:27mortals

01:04:28to try and compute in our heads uh that's jorge martin's mindset right now i'm here to compete this

01:04:34is the malaysian grand prix there are points up for grabs and i need to do everything i can to

01:04:38give

01:04:38myself the best possible chance which includes going through the usual post fp1 practice start session

01:04:46and it'll be interesting to see uh with the forces going through the bikes as he uh performs a start

01:04:50just how uh jorge martin's arm responds to that yeah i mean if you're liking the sort of a hollywood

01:04:56movie character to jorge martin it'd be something like rocky balboa wouldn't it played of course by

01:05:01sylvester stallone the guy just never knows when he's beaten he is one of the the toughest characters

01:05:07i've come across in three decades working in the mana gp world championship they're gonna take more than a

01:05:13fracture at the top of it top of his right forearm he's in his right wrist you think that to

01:05:18keep him out

01:05:18this malaysian grand prix absolutely awesome just to watch him actually even be here yeah you almost

01:05:25feel like he deserves some points just for doing this in free practice one with the points are

01:05:29handed out tomorrow afternoon in the tiso sprint 12 for the winner of course on a saturday afternoon

01:05:34and 25 on offer uh for the winner on sunday afternoon and jorge martin needs every point he can get

01:05:41reminder he is 10 points behind mark marquez in the chase for the moto gp world championship four grand

01:05:49prix and four sprints remain 148 points still on the table for martin betseki and mark marquez to fight for

01:06:00marco betseki had a didn't see much of him did we in that session but it was a strong start

01:06:05at four

01:06:06bears at 159.386 remarkably betseki has never had a podium finish here in sapang and aprilia i mean

01:06:15they really have struggled previously down the years here in span they've never even got a top six

01:06:18at their best a seventh place finish you got the impression from speaking to marco betseki

01:06:24this weekend whatever happens he has to take points off mark marquez he cannot afford uh to be

01:06:32outscored once again by the reigning world champion otherwise his title hopes will be slipping away

01:06:3750 points already he is behind uh the spaniard as the fans who made the early journey out to the

01:06:45sabang international circuit about 50 kilometers away from the spectacular capital of kuala lumpur well

01:06:51they're getting a treat as the very fast and very loud mother gp prototypes get blasted away

01:06:58from the start line this is betseki it's one of the longer runs on the calendar from start line to

01:07:05first corner so they'll be uh troubling uh 300ks by the time they get to uh that first corner about

01:07:11270

01:07:12that marco betseki made his way down to uh before he had to break for the first corner yeah that's

01:07:18270

01:07:19kilometers an hour breaking on his own you you wait until there's about 20 other bikes swarming all

01:07:24around you fighting for every a millimeter of tarmac as even a practice start is going to be hurting

01:07:31for hoi martin i mean just hanging on here i mean you can't comprehend the acceleration forces that these

01:07:40guys are having to to contend with when you drop the clutch on a motor gp bike the horsepower the

01:07:46torque

01:07:46that fires them in the blink of an eye from a standing start to nigh on 300 kilometers now i

01:07:53mean

01:07:53if it was anybody else we'd all get normal people would be having the shoulders their arms ripped out

01:07:58the shock sockets such is the acceleration forces daniele ramagnoli watches on hoi martin's trusted crew chief

01:08:08he'll be working of course with peco bagnaya in 2027 and peco moves over to the marley factory for the

01:08:15start of the new 850 cc era

01:08:19that's too long having a bit of a an uncomfortable practice start there as the front end uh hopped up

01:08:25in the air fortunately the front mug guard stayed in place on that particular occasion after it made a

01:08:30bid for freedom earlier on to bring a temporary halt to the session they're getting a good look at his

01:08:35future factory ducati world superbike teammate frankie mumble those two will be locking horns

01:08:40in world superbikes next year that was some session wasn't it for mark marquez just quietly going about

01:08:47his business setting the fastest time very very early on when the rubber was at its freshest when

01:08:53the grip was there for him around what is traditionally a very low grip supang international circuit very

01:08:58abrasive as well i think there was supposed to be a resurface for uh 2026 which uh was uh cancelled

01:09:05or

01:09:05delayed it was the reason why actually michelin rather unusually deviated from their normal uh

01:09:11tire allocation normally when we come back to circuits when there's been no changing track

01:09:16condition no changing track surface uh we just get in the allocation two front tires here this weekend

01:09:21is soft and medium and two rear tires and while michelin did design a new medium rear tire for the

01:09:28potential reef service that never happened but they decided uh well we'll stick in the allocation

01:09:33anyway as a big black line gets left by marco betsecki on his second practice star let's go down to

01:09:40jack once again yeah and once again it's positive news on jorge martin does seem as though the green light

01:09:46has been given for jorge martin to continue for the remainder of the weekend we heard from paulo

01:09:53benora this morning about conserving energy in time for practice this afternoon he also said that

01:10:00alongside some anti-inflammatories some strapping and some oral painkillers he hadn't actually had a

01:10:06painkilling injection that looks as though that will be the plan head of practice this afternoon so

01:10:12great news for the 89 it looks as though the green light has been given for jorge martin to continue

01:10:18on

01:10:19yeah brilliant thanks very much jack thanks for that uh breaking news then here in malaysia after the

01:10:26post free practice one review i'm sure there'll be additional checks but at the moment the signs

01:10:31are all incredibly positive aren't they uh for martin looks like the green light then has been given

01:10:36for him certainly to take part in this afternoon's a 60-minute practice session which as

01:10:41always the top 10 riders the top 10 fastest times at the end of practice we'll see those 10 riders

01:10:48automatically go through to tomorrow morning's q2 at 11 15 am local time tomorrow the rest and well

01:10:56they'll have to fight it out in q1 the top two in q1 as always that'll be out on the

01:11:00way at 10 50 a.m

01:11:01local time tomorrow morning and we'll then be in a fight for position good morning that for ktm for all

01:11:09of

01:11:09the uh talk of orje martin and of course mark marquez who led the session ktm's third fourth and fifth

01:11:15in

01:11:16that fp1 session acosta with that identical time as we mentioned to mark abetecki and they have

01:11:20bastinini who himself is a former malaysian grand prix winner the beats successful here uh in the sunday

01:11:27grand prix in 2023 he was fourth on a 159 68 day and brett binder who uh we don't always

01:11:33see the best from

01:11:33on fridays he was fifth on a 159.7 all within a second of mark marquette we've seen this year

01:11:40when the ktm does tend to uh show its spurs in low grip conditions at low grip tracks it sort

01:11:47of

01:11:47levels out the playing field when the grip's not there everyone is kind of in the same boat they're

01:11:52all chasing grip which has been a bit of a bugbear for ktm over the last 18 months or so

01:11:57they made big

01:11:58big strides this year in sort of tire durability rear tire endurance and particularly we saw a costa

01:12:04fade out of contention very early on in grand prix or very late on i should say and with deteriorating

01:12:10grip but they did seem to get a bit more tire life uh this year but yeah we do know

01:12:16one of the main

01:12:17characteristics of this sapaga international circuit is because it is so hot and humid because the surface

01:12:23is rather abrasive because there are a lot of fast sections which really do put a lot of load put

01:12:29a

01:12:29lot of stress put a lot of temperature into the rear tire in particular and yeah grip is at a

01:12:34premium

01:12:35around this malaysian grand prix venue with a tight grip at the moment on the world championship lead

01:12:41is mark marquez who despite his uh reasonably modest record and i say that by his standards not by

01:12:50anyone else's uh mark marquez just the two victories around the supang circuit looks like at the moment

01:12:55he is certainly in the mood to add a third of course so much can happen between now and sunday

01:13:01afternoon be it through what happens on track be it what happens with the weather uh so uh no one's

01:13:07giving mark marquez the sprint gold medal and 37 points for a double victory this weekend at this

01:13:12early stage but there's no question that the world champion could not have wished for a better start

01:13:17yeah his sprint win last time out in australia sees him now lead the field in terms of podium count

01:13:23so

01:13:23far this year uh mark leading on uh 18 six in grand prix all of those victories 12 sprint podiums

01:13:30he was tied with martin and bears on 17 the camp of martin nine grand prix podiums eight in the

01:13:36sprint

01:13:3617 for best six 11 in the grand prix six in the sprint so now mark marquez not just leading

01:13:42the outright

01:13:43world championship but he's collected more podium finishes than anybody else so far in 2026

01:13:50a brilliant effort a fantastic effort so much credit has to go to uh jorge martin his desire

01:13:57his commitment his willpower to tough it out and keep himself in the fight for this year's mother gp

01:14:03world champs all of his backroom team as well his personal staff his father angel the

01:14:09medical team here who do so much work great work behind the scenes uh to get these rise in the

01:14:16best

01:14:16physical shape possible i'm sure there's another appointment coming with uh dr angel chartre very

01:14:21very quickly the lead mother gp medic just to make sure that everything is a-okay but they were

01:14:2912 very intense and 12 very hard and tough laps the whole hey martin but at the end of it

01:14:34he still can

01:14:35crack a smile in front of the main grandstand here in tofang those two magnificent instantly

01:14:43recognizable pagoda grandstands that hold almost 33 000 fans those fans that came here this morning

01:14:49already have been treated to some show by the world's best and the current world's best world

01:14:54championship leader and reigning champ mark marquez fastest in fp1 marco betseki second identical times

01:15:01with pedro costa who's classified third bashanini and vinder fourth and fifth on the good morning

01:15:05for ktm frankie morbidilli next up ahead of alex marquez last year's winner of course joan zarko

01:15:10eight from gian antonio and diogo marrera so a couple of hondas in the top ten a couple of

01:15:15yamaha's just outside it rins and miller bagnaya 13th ahead of the returning to amir fabio cuotoraro

01:15:2015th from vinales ralph fernandez whose weekend is over luca marini ayagura jorge martin

01:15:26heroically in the top 20 ahead of augusto fernandez and ike lacuona who's from mudguard flew off

01:15:33midway through that fp1 session so 15 laps completed in total for the reigning world champion

01:15:41soft front medium rear tire didn't entertain a change he's 58.912 coming very early on on that

01:15:47third lap lots of low to mid at 59s in that session as well but he's still doing high 159s

01:15:55on his last that 15th lap strong consistent pace how does marco betteki compare well he also did his

01:16:01best lap right at the start of the session but he was in the two minutes and 201s on his

01:16:06final run

01:16:07having also stuck for the same tires it looks like it's upper hand marquez doesn't it in terms of early

01:16:13race pace across from so many of the ktms had a good look early on at the hard rear tire

01:16:18across his

01:16:19best coming towards the back end of his second run he was also in those low 159s and the beast

01:16:24in

01:16:25fourth place anayat bastionini although as you can see that is in part down to going for brand new

01:16:30medium front and rear tires late in the session three ktms at the end of play inside the top five

01:16:37frankie morbidelli strong as well in sixth place what about our sector time the short run through

01:16:41sector one including those tight first two turns mark marquez leading macostra and morbidelli marquez

01:16:46retains his advantage in sector two with betteki close behind heartbreaking into turn nine halfway

01:16:51through sector three it's betteki that adds the advantage over marquez and morbidelli and in the

01:16:56fourth sector which takes you down the back straight and then out of the final corner

01:16:59marco marquez once again with a narrow edge

01:17:04well our three main world title contenders had pretty dramatic starts here today didn't they

01:17:10jorge martin heroic down in 20th place six days after breaking that right wrist

01:17:14and title contenders marco marquez and marco betteki first and second the current champ
