Austin MotoGP Grand-Prix:
Marquez back on top after MotoGP FP2
Marc Marquez reestablished his dominance at the Circuit of The Americas as he set the quickest time in FP2.
It was all change for FP2, with the track drying and the rain holding off it gave riders a chance to head out and attempt to set what could be their fastest lap of the two days of practice. The time’s from FP2 might be very important, as with more rain forecast for tomorrow they could decide who makes it through to the second qualifying session on Saturday.
Riders initially headed out on wet tyres to get a feel for the track conditions, but came back in to switch to slicks as the racing line began to dry with about 20 minutes to go. This led to a frantic end to proceedings as riders attempted to take advantage of what could be the only dry session of the weekend.
