Marquez ends day 2 heading up the timesheets once again by breaking the 2-Minute barrier, the only rider to do so this year.
Excluding Marquez there has been some serious movers further down, notably Aleix Espagaro. Building on a good day yesterday Espagargo posted a fastest time of 2:00.547, only 0.6s off Marquez's fastest. What was more impressive was the consistency of his lap times throughout the day, lapping several stints in the mid 2:00 minutes. He is certainly creating a great base to go forward into the final day tomorrow.
When dorna introduced the CRT class it seemed like it was just a grid filling exercise. They circulated at the back, hugely off the pace of the factory bikes and created their own little championship. Now with the current open class regulations it's evidently brought the two classes much closer together, so much so Ducati are considering moving over all together.
By the end of tomorrow we will have a much better idea of progress, but for now, it's looking promising for the open teams and not so good for the Factory Ducati's.
