Jorge Lorenzo could only manage fourth, 0.253s off the pace on the best Yamaha.

Bradley Smith was eighth, followed by the two factory Ducatis.

Aleix Espargaro was top CRT man in 11th.

Karel Abraham was cleared to continue after his violent morning accident and was 22nd. He did not sustain any broken bones, though he did damage muscle in his shoulder.

Bradl had a minor fall early in practice two, with Hiroshi Aoyama also crashing later on.

But the only actual interruption was a red flag for a displaced marker cone on the approach to Turn 1.
