#SanMarinoGP Moto2 FP2: Pasini steals the show from Morbidelli, Alex Marquez withdraws

The first news of the second Moto2 free practice session was the withdrawal of Alex Márquez, best time in the morning, but who had also fallen at the end of the exercise. Not injured, but shaken, he preferred to leave it there rather than worsen his general condition. The Marc VDS Racing team would therefore play at Misano in Moto2, like the Yamaha team in MotoGP, i.e. with a single rider.

Before launching into the debates, a summary of the situation:
