With the asphalt completely dry and the track cleaner than in the morning, the current world champion beat Franco Morbidelli, his teammate in the official Yamaha team, by 30 thousandths, and by almost three tenths Johann Zarco, third, and Jorge Martín, who finished with the fourth best lap.
Fabio Quartararo, eleventh in the first practice, was able to turn around a delicate start that got a little more complicated, due to a breakdown in his M1 in the first moments of the afternoon session.
Enea Bastianini, winner of the opening round in Losail two weeks ago, placed fifth despite a crash that prevented her from completing the last minutes of training.
Jack Miller finished sixth, just ahead of Aleix Espargaró (seventh) and Brad Binder (eighth), who finished four tenths off the fastest.
Miguel Oliveira (ninth) and Alex Rins (tenth), closed the group of runners who at the moment have a guaranteed pass to the second qualifying screen (Q2).
In the case of not being able to improve the times this Saturday morning, something likely if the rain is repeated this morning, in Q1 there will be several of the main candidates to win, and also the title.
Pol Espargaró, who had been the most competitive in the debut, could not get past 19th place, already more than a second off the lead. Behind the Spaniard from Honda finished Joan Mir (20th) and Pecco Bagnaia, who in his last fast lap attempt was affected by the yellow flags that the stewards brought out as a result of Marc Márquez’s accident (22nd). The HRC car rolled on the ground at more than 150 kilometers per hour, in a hard fall, but was able to get up without problems and return to the workshop without apparent problems.
