MotoGP Austrian GP: Bagnaia fastest in second practice, Martin third

Pramac duo remains quick in FP2, but Bagnaia surges clear on the factory Ducati

Reigning MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia topped second practice for the Austrian Grand Prix with a new lap record, leading Pramac duo Franco Morbidelli and Jorge Martin. It took just five minutes for Bagnaia to beat the fastest lap from first practice, the factory Ducati rider clocking a time of 1m29.637s to take the top spot. His championship rival Martin and Gresini’s Marc Marquez also enjoyed brief stints at the front, before Bagnaia fired back with a 1m29.

Di Giannantonio was diagnosed with a dislocated left shoulder following initial tests and is being taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. Meanwhile, KTM wildcard Pol Espargaro's session ended early after he had to pull over at the side of the track with a mechanical problem. He was testing several new parts on the RC16.
