The second free practice session of the Indonesian Grand Prix at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit was overshadowed by a dramatic high-side crash involving Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP rookie Toprak Razgatlioglu. The rider known as El Turco suffered a violent tumble at Turn 13 after his Yamaha M1 abruptly regained rear grip following a front-end slide, forcing race control to immediately deploy the red flags as marshals rushed to assist.
Prior to the stoppage that paused proceedings, the undisputed dominance of the Noale factory machinery had already set the tone on the Lombok layout. RS-GP riders maintained control at the sharp end of the timesheets, following up on the strong pace previously demonstrated by Raul Fernandez during the opening session, highlighting the exceptional chassis agility of the Italian prototype.
Once the track action resumed, the intensity at the summit escalated rapidly with standout performances throughout the premier class grid. Marco Bezzecchi ultimately secured the benchmark time by breaking into the 1-minute 29-second bracket, executing a flawless run that propelled him to the top of the classification ahead of his rivals.
Meanwhile, reigning world champion Marc Marquez extracted maximum performance from his Ducati to challenge the Aprilia onslaught, successfully carving his way into the top positions despite a significant initial gap. Front-runners such as Jorge Martin and Pedro Acosta also remained firmly in the mix during the frantic closing minutes.
As FP2 concluded with high drama, medical updates confirmed that Toprak Razgatlioglu dislocated his shoulder in the heavy fall and required a transfer to the circuit hospital for further checks. Nevertheless, Aprilia's commanding presence at the head of the field underscores a formidable competitive baseline as the Indonesian weekend intensifies.
