Marco Bezzecchi remained at the top of the timesheets during FP2 for the 2026 Dutch MotoGP at TT Circuit Assen, reinforcing Aprilia Racing's impressive pace ahead of qualifying and the Sprint Race.
Just as in Friday's Practice session, Bezzecchi led an Aprilia charge, this time ahead of Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura, giving the RS-GP machinery a clean sweep of the top three positions.
Fabio Di Giannantonio, Marc Marquez, and Pedro Acosta completed the leading group. Every rider ran the medium front and soft rear tyre combination in preparation for Saturday afternoon's Sprint.
The session also featured technical setbacks. Raul Fernandez experienced an early mechanical issue, while Pedro Acosta lost valuable track time before returning to action during the second half of the session.
Off the track, Fermin Aldeguer was declared unfit after suffering a T7 vertebra fracture in Friday's Practice crash. Team-mate Alex Marquez was cleared to continue, while Franco Morbidelli will serve a three-place grid penalty in the Grand Prix following his impeding incident involving Enea Bastianini.
With the complete FP2 classification already available in the Sportrik database, attention now shifts to qualifying and the Sprint Race. Aprilia's consistent pace throughout the weekend places the Italian manufacturer among the strongest contenders at Assen.
