Francesco Bagnaia went fastest in Friday practice for the potentially decisive Malaysian MotoGP, with title rival Jorge Martin second as he crashed out.

Spain’s Martin is 17 points ahead of Italian defending champion Bagnaia in the title fight, with just one race weekend left after Malaysia. Pramac Ducati’s Martin can mathematically clinch his first world crown this weekend, with a sprint race on Saturday and a GP on Sunday, but the day belonged to Bagnaia.
