VR46 Ducati rider Marini was over a tenth clear of second-placed Jorge Martin (Pramac) in Friday’s second practice with a 1m30.217s. Jack Miller rounded out an all-Ducati top three, with Marc Marquez in fourth for Honda.
A dramatic FP2 saw several crashes inside the first 10 minutes, with Franco Morbidelli first to go down in Sector 1 on his factory Yamaha before Gresini Ducati’s Fabio DiGiannantonio followed suit at Turn 2.
