Gabriel Rodrigo topped the second session of free practice for the Moto3 class at Buriram, the Argentinian rider winning the traditional late charge for a time on Friday afternoon in the chase for a spot in Q2. Dennis Foggia ended in second spot, while Jakub Kornfeil was a fraction slower than the Sky VR46 rider.
Kornfeil's time will not do him much good on Sunday, however, as he has been handed a 12-place grid penalty for riding slowly in FP1. Kornfeil was not the only rider punished, Ayumu Sasaki being forced to start from the back of the grid.
Makar Yurchenko took fourth spot, ahead of Tatsuki Suzuki. Suzuki had led for most of the session, losing out once the jockeying for Q2 started.
