A dismal morning for Honda didn’t get any better at the start of the afternoon as Takaaki Nakagami ju൲mped off his RC213V with a technical issue at turn 12.

Unlike FP1 when Espargaro and Vinales were untouchable a🏅t the head of the field, Oliveira’s top time was under 🙈threat from both Vinales and Brad Binder, as the pair were under a tenth off the RNF rider.

Marco Bezze🌟cchi was also not far off the pace as he sat in fourth a𒁃head of Johann Zarco.

With his three closest tital rivals all in the top ten, world champion Francesco Bagnaia was having to play catch up as he �🌱�was only 20th with 20 minutes gone. 

A name that hasn’t spent much time at🐭op a MotoGP le🍌aderboard is Fabio Di Giannantonio, who went fastest by just under two tenths. 

Di Giannantonio then continue🦩d his impressive run by setting another lap in the low 1m 40s barrier.

C♔ontinuing to languish down t🐽he order, a new medium rear tyre helped Bagnaia find significant improvements as he jumped up from 20th to first.

After being caught up behin♈d Marc Marquez, Bagnaia was then set to improve his top time before catching Binder at the final corner.&nbs🌺p;

Just as Vinales saved a huge highside on the exit🌱 of 𒁏turn 13, Raul Fernandez was not able to avoid a crash as he went down at turn 12.

With a soft rear fitted, VInales recovered from his bi𒊎g moment to go fastest with a time ofꦺ 1:40.095s.

Johann Zarco was next to trouble the top time as a soft-soft combina♌tion helped the Frenchman overhaul Vinales. Zarco then found more time on his next effort but was unable to break into the 1m 39s barrier.

Top spot continued to change during the closing stages as Di Giannantonio went quickest by 𝓡four tenths before both fa🎉ctory Aprilia riders went faster. Espargaro set a time of 1:39.389s to go two tenths clear of Vinales. 

Set for P2 after three sectors, Zarco produced a stunning final sector to💟 gain over two tenths over Espargaro. 

Zarco’s time wasn’t enough to hold off the Aprilia duo as Vinales went quickest before a new lap record was set by𒆙 Espargaro.
