It might still go down as an encouraging session for the [troubled Pecco Bagnaia](https://www.the-race.com/motogp/pecco-bagnaia-ducati-2025-2026-marc-marquez-injury-absence/), who set the early pace and was still second to Gresini Ducati's Fermin Aldeguer when the rain hit. Aldeguer's team-mate Alex Marquez is a favourite for victory this weekend given his usual strong form at Sepang, but he started his weekend with a fast low-side crash as he turned into the Turn 7 right-hander and was only seventh fastest. > Not the ideal start to Friday for [@alexmarquez73](https://twitter.com/alexmarquez73?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=the-race.com), who is looking to secure 2nd in the Championship this weekend πŸ‘€πŸ’₯[#MalaysianGP](https://twitter.com/hashtag/MalaysianGP?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=the-race.com) πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ [pic.twitter.com/1JY7goHdJq](https://t.co/1JY7goHdJq?ref=the-race.com) > > β€” MotoGPβ„’πŸ (@MotoGP) [October 24, 2025](https://twitter.com/MotoGP/status/1981559616707142058?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=the-race.com) In other crashes, Jack Miller slid his Pramac Yamaha on its side into the gravel at the final corner and there were two offs for KTM's Pedro Acosta - the first an early tip-off at Turn 2 and then a trip deep through the gravel when the downpour started. A handful of riders got their wet-shod bikes prepared in time to get some exploratory mileage in the final few minutes, but that was a fraught experience as standing water was already developing - with Fabio Quartararo, Australian GP winner Raul Fernandez and Brad Binder all visiting the run-off area at Turn 12 where a particularly vicious puddle had developed on the corner entry. ## Results 1 Fermin Aldeguer (Gresini Ducati) 2m00.199s 2 Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati) +0.256s 3 Joan Mir (Honda) +0.349s 4 Pol Espargaro (Tech3 KTM) +0.382s 5 Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) +0.392s 6 Luca Marini (Honda) +0.403s 7 Alex Marquez (Gresini Ducati) +0.521s 8 Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) +0.534s 9 Jack Miller (Pramac Yamaha) +0.607s 10 Pedro Acosta (KTM) +0.664s 11 Franco Morbidelli (VR46 Ducati) +0.964s 12 Brad Binder (KTM) +1.062s 13 Ai Ogura (Trackhouse Aprilia) +1.076s 14 Johann Zarco (LCR Honda) +1.114s 15 Enea Bastianini (Tech3 KTM) +1.139s 16 Miguel Oliveira (Pramac Yamaha) +1.200s 17 Fabio Di Giannantonio (VR46 Ducati) +1.266s 18 Alex Rins (Yamaha) +1.380s 19 Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse Aprilia) +1.558s 20 Michele Pirro (Ducati) +2.197s 21 Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia) +2.639s 22 Augusto Fernandez (Yamaha) +2.753s 23 Somkiat Chantra (LCR Honda) +2.786s
