It's been an intense day, to say the least, at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, as the riders and teams gear up for the opening Grand Prix of the MotoGP calendar next week.
The day was split into two sessions with teams testing and refining their 2026 packages, but it was certainly not a day without its share of incidents.
Marc Marquez suffered a high speed crash at the final corner, but appeared to be uninjured as a result of the fall and continued to take part in testing. He then crashed again later on but appeared to be fine as the Spaniard finds the limit.
Elsewhere, Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo, who is rumoured to be on the move to Honda at the end of this year, suffered a mechanical issue which saw him forced to withdraw from the second session.

Three-time WSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu also cut a frustrated figure inside the Pramac garage as his lap times were largely uncompetitive along with teammate Jack Miller.
Ai Ogura, Marco Bezzecchi and Miller also went down at various points throughout the day, but all appear to be okay and will resume participation.
There were some familiar names at the top of the timing sheets as Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin battled for the lead of the first session, meanwhile it was Alex Marquez ahead of Marco Bezzecchi in the afternoon session.
