PETRONAS Yamaha duo Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli have ended FP2 on top, with the team-mates split by just +0.007s. Red Bull Tech 3 KTM rider Miguel Oliveira completes the top three.

Franco Morbidelli’s lap time which was +0.8s quicker than anyone wasn’t enough to hold the top spot after a last lap gasp from team-mate Fabio Quartararo. Despite struggling with his PETRONAS machine, Quartararo blasted to the top of the timesheets with a 1:56.502.
