Brad Binder takes FP2 in Japan. Only 14th Marc Marquez

In FP2 of the Japan GP è it was Brad Binder’s KTM that set the fastest time of 1:43.489. The South African centaur was ahead of Pecco Bagnaia’s Ducati and Aleiz Espargar&ograve’s Aprilia, 29 and 295 thousandths apart respectively.

He è placed fourth, however, the Ducati Pramac of Jorge Martin. Completing the top 10 were Marco Bezzecchi (Ducati), Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati), Johann Zarco (Ducati), Maverick Vinales (Aprilia), Pol Espargarò (KTM) and Jack Miller (KTM). Friday was one to forget for Marc Marquez, who after placing 13th in FP1, did not go beyond 14th in the second session, thus failing to enter Q2 ahead of qualifying.
