In a warm Misano afternoon, Enea Bastianini truly felt at home and picked up the lead of the second practice session in its final couple of minutes. Sam Lowes started FP2 much like FP1 and spent the session at the top of the timesheets but eventually got demoted to second by his Italian rival, who was a mere six hundredths of a second faster. Augusto Fernandez seems to be enjoying better days in Italy, only a tenth off the lead and in third place.
Nicolo Bulega made some progress on home soil to climb into fourth, ahead of compatriots Luca Marini, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzecchi, all four Italians posting a time within half a second of Bastianini. Hafizh Syahrin grabbed eighth position ahead of Jorge Navarro, while Marcel Schrotter completed the top ten, despite a second crash of the day, this time at turn 14.
The provisional top 14 will see Aron Canet, Tetsuta Nagashima, Xavi Vierge and Joe Roberts defending the remaining Q2 tickets on Saturday morning, from the likes of Lorenzo Baldassarri, Remy Gardner or Tom Luthi, who all finished towards the bottom of the top 20.
