2022 Japanese motorcycle Grand Prix

Unlike the other race weekends, on Friday there was only one free practice session for each class, with the consequence that the second was scheduled on Saturday morning.

The combined classification for access in Q1 and Q2 was determined by the times of only FP1 and FP2 (which will last seventy-five minutes each), as already happened in this championship in the Indonesian Grand Prix.

Augusto Fernández increases his lead in the riders' standing after the Aragon Grand Prix: he is now on 214 points, 7 more than Ai Ogura.

Izan Guevara's victory in Aragon, combined with the difficulties of Sergio García and Dennis Foggia (finished thirteenth and fourteenth) allows him to increase his advantage in the drivers' classification: the first is at 229 points, with the second and third following him respectively.

In the first session, carried out in the dry, the fastest was Jack Miller, ahead of his teammate Francesco Bagnaia and Fabio Quartararo.

In the second session, held in the wet, Marc Márquez set the best time, ahead of his compatriot Jorge Martín and Miller.
