MotoGP, Valencia FP2, LIVE: Ogura fastest ahead of Bagnaia and Bezzecchi, Quartararo in the top 10

The MotoGP riders will complete their final free practice session before qualifying and the first race of the weekend. Will Pedro Acosta and Marco Bezzecchi dominate as they did yesterday?

The final MotoGP Grand Prix of the season kicked off yesterday at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, whose access and parking infrastructure has been completely rebuilt following last year's devastating floods. The riders thus returned to this iconic track, a fixture on the calendar since 1999, after a two-year hiatus.

Peter Acosta et Marco Bezzecchi They proved to be the two strongest players on Friday, separated by only 53 thousandths of a second at the end of Practice. Both still have a place to play for in the championship, third for the Italian and fourth for the Spaniard, while their rival for those places, Francesco BagnaiaHe had another difficult day. The official Ducati rider finished 14th overall.

On the other side of the box, Nicholas Bulega, who came to replace Marc MárquezStill absent (but present in the paddock this weekend), he finished dead last. The World Superbike runner-up hasn't ridden on the Valencia circuit since leaving Moto2 and needs time to find his rhythm.

If number #93 is not racing this weekend, however Maverick Vinales et Jorge Martín They made their long-awaited return after several weeks of absence due to their respective injuries. The comeback was far from easy for the two Spaniards, who are nevertheless not here to achieve results but to regain their form in preparation for the first winter test, which will take place on Tuesday on the circuit. They are currently ranked 18th and 22nd.

Franco Morbidelli, Alex Marquez, Ai Ogura, Jack Miller, Fabio DiGiannantonio, Fermín Aldeguer, Joan mir et fabio quartararo completed the top 10, even though the Frenchman suffered a technical problem on his M1 during the Practice. Johann zarco He, on the other hand, only finished 15th and will have to go through Q1 today.
