Without surprise, Jorge Martín (Del Conca Gresini) sets the reference time in 1'58.537, which suggests that the times will drop significantly during the session.
After ten minutes, it's his teammate Fabio DiGiannantonio (Del Conca Gresini) who regains control in 1'57.900. He is ahead of his teammates Niccolo Antonelli (SIC58 Squadra Corse) and Tatsuki suzuki (SIC58 Squadra Corsica), Kaito Toba (Honda Team Asia) and Jorge Martin.
This FP2 is very calm, and halfway through the session the places have not moved. Di Giannantonio is still in the lead with the same time ahead Antonelli, Suzuki, Tuff et Martín. Behind, Philipp Oettl (Sudmetal Schedl GP Racing), Marco Bezzecchi (PruestlGP), Tony Arbolino (Marinelli Snipers Team), Darryn Binder (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Gabriel Rodrigo (RBA BOE Skull Rider) complete the top 10.
