MotoGP News: Marc Marquez fastest in wet Practice 2 at Brno
Adverse weather conditions made for a difficult Friday afternoon Practice 2 session, but Marc Marquez (pictured) found his way to the top once again.
It was business as usual for Marc Marquez as he dominated the opening day of Practice at the Automotodrom Brno, as he topped Practice One and Practice 2 on Friday.
Johann Zarco was Marquez’s closest challenger as he ended the day in second, but was 0.469 seconds behind the factory Ducati rider.
Meanwhile, title rivals Alex Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia faced a high-stakes end to the session, sitting outside the top ten and staring down the barrel of Qualifying 1.
Fabio Quartararo and Monster Energy Yamaha gained direct access to Q2 as they ended up in third place on the timesheets.
Both Aprilia Racing riders ended the day inside the top five. Marco Bezzecchi was in fourth place, and the reigning MotoGP World Champion, Jorge Martin, was in fifth on his first day back in the paddock.
Jack Miller and difficult weather conditions tend to go hand in hand, and the Australian used them to his advantage on Friday as he ended up in sixth place.
