Before starting his flying lap of the session, the current MotoGP seꩵries leader appeared quite uncomfortable as he was repeatedly shaking out his left shoulder.

Unclear whether it was a case of wearing new leathers or the reigning Moto𓆉GP champion feeling some discomfort, Quartararo was still able to set competi🦩tive laps. 

There was an early crash for Darryn Binder as the💫 South African lost the front-end of his RNF Yamaha on𝔉 the entry to turn seven. 

Showing early pace, Marco Bezzecchi and Miguel Olivꦓeira set low 2m0s laps in order to move into the top ten ♍on combined times. 

With speed to burn, Aprilꦚia started FP2 on fire as Aleix Espargaro went underneath Zarco’s fastest time from FP1. 

A lap time of 1:59.681s was clocked by the Spaniard before team-mate Maverick Vina🌜les made it an Aprilia 1-2 by going less than tenth off Espargaro.
