Second practice got off to a disastrous start for Enea Bastianini as a mꦚechanical iꦅssue led to smoke coming from the rear of his GP24. 

It was then 🌜the turn of Marco Bezzecchi to run into issues as his GP23 also had smoke coming from it in what appeared to be an oil problem.

Moments after going second, Miguel Oliveira nearly 💖came unstuck at turn one as he suffered a huge front-end wobble. 

Like FP1, Aleix Espargaro was the first rider to dip into the 1m 59s barrier, while Takaaki Nakagami became the ⭕first faller of the session. 

Jorge Martin then made his mark as he went close to four tenths clear of Espargaro, before Fabio Di Giannantonio cl🎉ose to within +0.211s of the Spaniard.

The𒀰n it was the turn of reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia to make a statement as he went fastest by over three tenths from Maverick Vinales. 

But Bagnaia was quickly beaten by Bastianini, who put his early gremlins behind him to set a time o♉f 1:59.026s.

Although it wasn't enough to take over top spot, Vinales was setting very competitive lap times and showed that he had the pace to trouble Bas🦄tianini and Bagnaia. 

One of the first riders to use a soft rear tyre, Pedro Acosta꧒ moved up into the top five po🐎sitions as a result. 

Pushing on with a new hard front tyre, Martin was delivering very good pace as he went second despite runn🦋ing a used medium rear. 

Then came a sizzling lap time from Vinales as he smashed the fast𒊎est time with a mid 1m 58s effort.&n🌠bsp;

Martin🧸 then joined Vinales in the 1m 58s, however, he could🧸n't trouble the Aprilia rider.

Playing games in pit lane, Ma▨rc Marquez was waiting for Martin at the start of his next stint, but had to settle for Espargaro as company because Martin held back. 

After finally latching onto the rear of Martin, Marquez jumped up the order but was only seventh thanks to his𓂃 latest i♍mprovement. 

Bagnaia then found two tenths late on to go top but Martin and♓ Espargaro both had an answer as they broke into the 1m 57s barrier.
