Submitted by Jacob Leech on Fri, 2013-09-27 13:58

Takaaki Nakagami finished at the top of the timesheets following Moto2 FP2, the Japanese rider left it to his very last lap to snatch the quickest time of the day from Tito Rabat. Rabat was looking in fine form in front of his home fans and finished just three hundredths of a second behind Nakagami but ahead of his countryman and morning pace setter Nico Terol. Johann Zarco and Scott Redding completed the top five placings.

Ever consistent Suisse rider Thomas Luthi ended proceedings in sixth ahead of Julian Simon, Marcel Schrotter and Speed Up riders Simone Corsi and Alex De Angelis rounded out the top ten. Pol Espargaro finished up in eleventh place and will look to improve his pace as the weekend progresses in order to keep tabs on championship leader Redding.
