Sepang MotoGP Saturday Subscriber Notes: A Microcosm Of The 2024 MotoGP Season In One Day

Saturday at Sepang was an almost perfect distillation of the 2024 MotoGP season. In one of the most thrilling qualifying sessions in recent memory, Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia drove one another to exceptional heights. On his first flying lap in Q2, Pecco Bagnaia smashed his own lap record at Sepang by three tenths of a second.
Five seconds later, Jorge Martin shattered that record by another two tenths, becoming the first rider to lap break into the 1'56s on a race weekend at Sepang, a feat that had previously only been done at the test earlier this year. On his next lap, Martin went a whole lot better, taking four more tenths off his own time and beating Pecco Bagnaia's time from the test by over a tenth.
A time of 1'56.553 was truly breathtaking, an astonishing achievement at Sepang. Surely no one would be able to beat it? That was the body language radiating from Jorge Martin, knowing just how good that lap had been.

2024 Sepang Moto3 Practice 2 Result: Fernandez Attacks The Lap Record Despite Drizzle
Although the lightweight class enjoyed a dry start to their Saturday, it only stayed that way for half of the morning’s proceedings. However, rain flags were not enough to prevent the all-time lap record coming under attack, initially from Angel Piqueras in the dry and then by teammate Adrian Fernandez on the very last flying lap, with light drizzle still falling on the start-finish straight. The two Leopard Racing riders were separated by nearly two tenths of a second in the end, with Ivan Ortola a further two tenths back in third position.

The tension which has been building up around the possibility of racing at Valencia after the devastating storms there defused after the MotoGP Safety Commission, the body in which the riders talk to Dorna and the FIM about everything of concern, from track safety to sporting regulations and more. Any journalist with a rider's phone number was messaging them the instant they emerged from meeting.
Which is how we found out that Dorna and the local authorities in the Valencia region had decided to cancel the 2024 Valencia round of MotoGP, set to take place from 15th-17th of November. Half an hour or so later, Dorna issued a formal announcement, stating that the round had been canceled and they were seeking an alternative location for the final event of the season. To the palpable relief of everyone concerned.

However, there wasn’t much cause for concern and riders were able to keep to their original plans. For Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, that plan seemed to be to follow each other around until the chequered flag, fitting some mind games into the schedule where possible, and finishing first and second on the timesheets.

Valencia MotoGP Round Canceled, Replacement To Be Announced In Due Course
The MotoGP round at Valencia, scheduled to take place two weeks from now, from 15th-17th November, has been canceled. In light of the devastating floods that have ravaged the area around the circuit, the local authorities and Dorna have decided to cancel the MotoGP race.
Although the track at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo was not damaged in the flooding, the access road, car park, and area around the track was badly damaged. The circuit is also being used as an emergency shelter for people who have lost their homes. As a result, the local authorities and Dorna did not want any resources which could be used in the rescue, recovery, and clean up efforts to be used to stage the GP.
