There was a bizarre moment at the start of FP2 as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo showed visible frustration with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini.

The Ducati rider positioned himself behind 💙the championship leader, who slowed on the exit of turn four after running wide, before ges𝔍turing and attempting to wave the Italian rider through. 

But Marini remained unnerved as he slotted in behind Quartararo once again💎. 

After topping FP1, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez was again showing impressive pace as he led the early stages from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder

Like Quartara🎐⭕ro, Bagnaia and Binder also had moments at turn four as they ran wide.

Bezzecchi became the first faller of the session after crashi🌺ng at turn three. With no apparent damage to his GP21 machine, Bezzecchi was back underwa💎y just moments later.

Bagnaia then s🌟hot to the top of the leaderboard with a time of 1:31.326s, which was just 0.025s clear of Marqueꦓz.

There was good pace﷽ being shown by Zarco prior to the time attacks getting started - the Pramac Ducati rider went quickest by nearly two tenths. 

As Quartararo also found pace in order to split Bagnaia and Marquez with third, fellow Yamaha rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Cal Crutchlow suffered a crash at turn three, the same 🐼corner as Bezzecchi. 

After moving up to third place behind the new pacesetter 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins and Zarco, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Di Giannantonio then suffered the sam🍌e fate as Bezzecchi and Crutchlow as he crashed at turn three.

As Darryn Binder made it two crashes in FP2 for RNF Yamaha - the South African went down at turn seven -168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Jorge Martin set out 💦hi🌱s intentions by going quickest on combined times. 

On what was ꦇhis first flying lap with a new soft rear tyre, Martin went ha✤f a tenth quicker than what Marquez managed in FP1. 

Bagnaia then went two tenths clear of M𒁏artin with a fantastic time of 1:30.299s, however, Zarco pipped the Italian late on - +0.018s was t♛he margin splitting the two Ducati riders.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller and Marquez looked set to challenge the൲ top two before making mistakes at the final corner.
