Mandalika’s final bike checks came just before race time: the MotoGP™ warm Pertamina Grand session gave riders one last feel for the circuit ahead of the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia on October 11.
Small adjustments, then the main event. MotoGP.com described the warm-up as a chance for final checks and last-minute tweaks at Mandalika, though the available session listing did not give lap times or results.
MotoGP™ warm Pertamina Grand before race time
The session video appeared on MotoGP.com on October 11. Its description focused on riders making final preparations and getting a final feel for the circuit before the race. The listing did not identify individual riders or detail the changes made to their bikes.
The warm-up sat within a busy race-day program at Mandalika. MotoGP.com also published footage of the rider parade and Hero Walk, saying fans turned out en masse to welcome the riders to Sunday at the circuit.
For teams and riders, the session was the last listed opportunity to make checks before the main event. The source does not specify whether any particular setup change affected the race, so the warm-up footage offers a view of the preparations rather than a reported technical breakthrough.
Race-day coverage from Mandalika
MotoGP.com’s page also carried highlights from the 2026 Indonesian Grand Prix. Its description said Marco Bezzecchi took victory ahead of Raul Fernandez and Jorge Martin, while Marc Marquez finished sixth. Those results were presented in a separate highlights listing, not as outcomes of the warm-up.
The surrounding coverage also included Saturday’s qualifying and Sprint reactions, plus a video in which Aprilia riders Fernandez and Bezzecchi discussed their Sprint crash at Turn 1. Those items were dated October 10, a day before the warm-up and Grand Prix coverage.
The distinction matters: the warm-up listing records final preparations, while the separate highlights item reports the race result. MotoGP.com’s description of the session gives no timing data, standings or rider-by-rider account of what happened on track.
The race-day highlights put Bezzecchi first, Raul Fernandez second and Jorge Martin third; Marc Marquez finished sixth.
