2026 Austin MotoGP Free Practice 2 Result: Martin Denies Marquez

The final practice rodeo for the premier class ended with quite a few potentially costly crashes ahead of qualifying, but the leading trio successfully avoided that – Jorge Martin demoting Marc Marquez by a tenth of a second in the final three minutes of FP2. Marquez had a modest start down at the bottom of the top 10 for most of the session, but picked up the pace in the closing stages to return to the limelight in second.
