Marc Marquez tops opening Phillip Island MotoGP practice, Jack Miller crashes after P1

Marc Marquez secured the fastest time during the opening practice session for the Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island, clocking the only sub-1:28 lap of the morning. Raul Fernandez followed in second place, narrowly trailing the leader despite an earlier crash that required medical attention for his hand.

Jack Miller delighted local spectators by briefly holding the top spot before a high-speed accident at the first turn, though he remained third overall. Marco Bezzecchi, Alex Marquez, and Pedro Acosta rounded out the top six, while championship leader Jorge Martin finished the session in seventh position.

Other notable incidents included a mechanical failure for Brad Binder and limited participation from Luca Marini due to illness, while Iker Lecuona also experienced a fall.
