Jack Miller set the pace in the Ducati Lenovo Team one-two in extended opening practice for the MotoGP™ field at the Motul Japanese Grand Prix. The Australian set a 1:44.509 during his late time attack at Mobility Resort Motegi to finish FP1 0.028 seconds ahead of team-mate Francesco Bagnaia, the world’s leading driver. However, the man who still leads the title race, Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™), finished third, while third-placed Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing) finished fourth in opening day in Japan. On the other hand, GP Aragon winner Enea Bastianini (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) finished only 14th after the crash.
