While track conditions remained less than ideal for the start of this afternoon’s session, riders were greeted by blue skies and a rapidly drying track as Miller and Miguel Ol꧙iveira quickly jumped up the order.
Miller went second on just his third flying lap, before bettering 🌳Johann Zarco’s FP1 time a lap 𓂃later by over eight tenths.
Francesco Bagnaia then 🦂made it a Ducati 1-2-3 by going third, while Marc Marquez - finished second this morning - sat fourth overall.
Iker Lecuona then split the Bologna bullets by going third overall, while Fabio Quartararo made s🦩ignificant gains.

Quartararo’s best e𒀰ffort put him seventh early, which was moments before a near-crash at turn four.&ꦍnbsp;
Another 🍌rider who struggled in FP1 was current MotoGP world champion Joan Mir, but just like Quartararo, the Suzuki rider made his way up the order with sixth.
Pol⛦ Espargaro, who was two seconds off the pace throughout FP2, became the first and only rider to crash in the s🍸ession - turn 13.
Bagnaia nearly went down for the second time today after braking on the curb heading towards turn four. The I♋talian rider’s Ducati momentarily locked the front which caused him tꦿo run off track.
A🌠fter struggling for much of the day, Aleix Espargaro put his Aprilia into third overall as the chequered flag came out. Espargaro was joined by former full-time team-mate Lorenzo Savadori - finished seventh.
While the top two of Miller and Zarco remained unchanged, several big names missed out on a top ten including Mir, Marquez and Quart꧙araro.
