A dismal morning for Honda didn’t get any better at the star🍎t of the afternoon as Takaa💛ki Nakagami jumped off his RC213V with a technical issue at turn 12.

Unlike FP1 when Espargaro and Vinales were untouchable at 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 Bez🥀zecchi was also not far off th💛e pace as he sat in fourth ahead of Johann Zarco.

With his three closesꦫt 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 atop a MotoGP leaderboard is Fabio Di Giannantonio, who went fastest by jꦇust under two tenths. 

Di Giannantonio then 🔴continued his impressive run b﷽y setting another lap in the low 1m 40s barrier.

Continuing to languish down the order, a new med🦋ium rear tyre helped Bagnaia find 🎀significant improvements as he jumped up from 20th to first.

After being caught up behind Marc Marquꦯez, Bagnaia was then set to improve his top time before catching Binder at the final corner.&nb꧃sp;

Just as Vinales saved a huge highside on the exit of turn 13, R🦋aul Fernandez was not able to avoid a crash as he went down at t🔯urn 12.

With a soft rear fitted, VInales r🌞ecovered from his big moment to go fastest wi⭕th a time of 1:40.095s.

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

Top spot continued to cha൲nge during the closing stages as Di Giannantonio went quickest by four tenths before both factory 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 ov🗹er two tenths over Espargaro.&ꦰnbsp;

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