Sasaki leads free practice ahead of Suzuki at Phillip Island
Japanese people Ayumu Sasaki Finished first training day for (Husqvarna) Moto3 Australian Grand Prix at the Phillip Island circuit as category leader after finally beating his compatriot Itsuki Suzuki (Honda) and the Brazilian Diogo Moreira (KTM) is third.
world leader spanish Izan Guevara (GasGas) finished the first day of practice with the fourth-fastest time, surpassing their nearest rivals in the race for the world title, which was mathematically achievable at Sunday’s race.
Clouds gradually covered the sky and rain fell at the end of the first round of Moto2 free practice, but the second and final session of Moto3 started without showing any signs of rain, although the track was still partially wet. That slowed down the early evolution of the smallest entrants in the championship category.
Brazilian Diogo Moreira Fastest in the morning session (KTM) was also fastest at the start of the second session, lapping in 1:45.702 at first, then 1:45.095 and then 1:39.773 in the morning, half an hour not yet played I had to change everything in the above training.
These track conditions created quite a few dangerous situations, including some scares like the main character Sergio Garcia Dorus (GasGas) As soon as the session started, the ‘piano’ was stepped on the shoulder and the whole team worked hard on the workshop street.
García Dorus was the first to improve times in the morning with 1:39.401 and 1:39.283.
From that moment on, things really “livened up” and more than 15 hours of training took place, with many pilots setting personal best times.
Sergio Garcia Dorus He starred in several consecutive fast laps, the third with a 1:39.051, the still very distant category circuit record (3s ) gradually decreased. , then lapped in 1:36.050.
And at the end of the session, the Japanese Ayumu Sasaki (Husqvarna) beat their compatriots to take first place with a time of 1:37.797. Itsuki Suzuki Until then, it was running alone in the lead (Honda), Diogo Moreira (KTM), one of the great entertainers of the day, number three.
world leader, Izan Guevara (GasGas) finished 4th, just ahead of his teammate Sergio Garcia Dorus and his most direct rival in the championship, the Italian Denise Fozier (Honda), sixth, a result that would mathematically give the Spaniard the world title if the race was produced on Sunday.
yes Foggia He finished sixth, followed by his compatriots Andrea Minho (pachinko) and Stefano Nepa (KTM), in Spanish Jaume Masia (KTM) and Adrian Fernandez (KTM), below, and with the Anglo-Saxons. John McPhee (Husqvarna), Joel Kelso (KTM) and Scott Ogden (Honda), closed the position with the right to go straight into the second classification, a goal the Spaniard failed to achieve Carlos Tatai (CFMoto), David Munoz (KTM), Daniel Holgado (KTM), Ivan Ortra (KTM), Xavier Artigas (CFMoto) and Anna Carrasco (KTM).
Neither was the relevant pilot like Turkey Denise Onk (KTM), 16th, or Japanese Yamanaka meteor I finished behind him (KTM).

Mercedes director of track engineering Andrew Schoulin commented on Lewis Hamilton’s impact on the car’s development a year after his departure.
Hamilton and Mercedes have formed the most successful partnership in F1 history, winning six drivers’ championships and eight constructors’ championships between 2014 and 2021.
But at the end of 2024, the Briton opted to switch to Ferrari, and in 2025 this turned out to be unsuccessful: Hamilton failed to reach the podium in a single Grand Prix.
The 40-year-old champion was replaced by Kimi Antonelli, who made significant progress alongside the experienced George Russell.
With his departure, Hamilton left the team leadership role to Russell. This allowed Antonelli to adapt to F1 without the pressure of being responsible for car feedback, although Shovlin stressed that his communication about the car was of a high standard.
“Honestly, George is fine. The important thing is that we don’t develop the car based solely on what the pilot says,” Shovlin said.
“Most of the work comes from simulations: we look for downforce, the stability of the car, we reduce aerodynamic drag and tune the suspension to ensure the car falls into the best aerodynamic window.
So most decisions are not based on the pilot saying “I need this” and we rush to find a solution. But it is very useful to have a consistent pilot like George. He knows these cars within those rules, so we didn’t have to worry about losing our mark in the development of the car.”
“Kimi also describes the behavior of the car perfectly, so there were no problems in that regard. The main thing is that we had a fantastic collaboration with Lewis and a lot of success, and then he decided to try a new challenge at Ferrari.”
“We always looked at Kimi as the future of the team and a training year was inevitable. We fully embraced that and overall I think it went well.”

Former Haas boss Henter Steiner says Isak Hajjar will be Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull and will have the chance to avoid the problems faced by his predecessors.
The French driver took the hardest place in the peloton, as they say in F1. Following the departure of Daniel Ricciardo, many of Verstappen’s team-mates succumbed to the pressure: Pierre Gasly returned to Toro Rosso after a year and a half, Alex Albon lasted only a season and a half, Yuki Tsunoda lasted 22 races and Liam Lawson only two races. Sergio Perez, who stayed for four years, was an exception.
But Hajar has a special advantage: New technical rules force everyone to start from scratch.
“Isak is a very strong driver,” said Steiner
And most importantly, it will start at Red Bull with new rules. “This allows him to co-shape the car with Max, rather than getting into a car that is already built for a single driver.”

Overall, 2025 ends as a year of good memories for Barça’s partners and supporters. They are competitive in many sports disciplines and generally perform well, but something is missing at European level. In any case, what can be said is that the football team has consolidated by winning three titles, provided great moments and entertained us a lot. And we might add that with our commitment to the quarry, in addition to preserving what we didn’t have, we have managed to establish our own identity and offer exciting future prospects. That it is the norm for nine Catalans to take part in a match, or for six to eight from La Masia to form part of the line-up, reinforces the idea that by defending and betting on one’s identity, an exciting future is guaranteed.
However, not all of the pile is oregano. And if there’s one aspect that could definitely be improved, it’s our relationship with our partners. A transfer that would require him to play at Montjuic or return to Camp Nou, where he is less than 50%, creates many questions and complications. However, not everything goes well, and the feeling of many of the regulars at Montjuic and later Camp Nou, or those who did not make it, is that foreign spectators are the great protagonists and beneficiaries of this era, placing themselves at the center. Then the partner took extreme action. And in many cases, literally.
2026 will bring us a title, prevent injuries and ensure our members the fame they deserve. Happy new year!
