Aleix Espargaro and Franco Morbidelli punished
Aleix Espargaro’s second place in the second free practice is invalid. The commissioners of the race deleted his best time due to violations of the technical rules. At the end of the second free practice, the Spaniard had a "rear spoiler for rain" installed on his motorcycle next to the dry track tires, which is a violation of the rules. The time 1: 33.452 he set at the end of the second training session is thus invalid. His fastest recognized time is 1: 41.360 achieved in the introduction to this training. The Spaniard is the only one who did not put his fastest time on dry track tires. Deleted time means the Aprilia racer has slipped from second to a completely last twenty-fifth place. That is why he will hope that the track will be dry in the third training session, as otherwise the ost will be without trouble
