Six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez led the way in a weather-affected second practice for the Qatar Grand Prix at a wet Losail International Circuit.
Rain hit the track at around 7pm local time in Losail, an hour before the scheduled start of the session and while the final Moto3 practice session of the day was running. Although the rain lasted for a brief period, it left the circuit too wet to allow any MotoGP running on slick tyres, prompting race control to reduce the length of the session and not count it towards qualifying groups.
New VR46 signing Fabio di Giannantonio was eighth at the end of the session, albeit another half a second down on Bastianini, with Alex Marquez next up on the Gresini Ducati. LCR's Johann Zarco ensured Honda finished the top 10 with his best effort of 2m08.321s, despite not setting a timed lap in the first 15 minutes of the session. He edged out the factory Honda bike of Joan Mir by just 0.
