The quickest rider heading into🌳 Practice 2, Johann Zarco was one of the last riders to set a lap time as Jack Miller led the way early on. 

Miller’🌄s time of 1:22.667s was a tenth quicker than the rider he replaced at KTM, Miguel Oliveira, however, Jorge Martin soon bettered it by going three tenths clear.

With Marc Marquez still in the garage and watching the action, Takaaki Nakagami was the only Honda rider in action although Practice 2 soon became a🐎 nightmare for the Japanese manufacturer as Nakagami suffered a fast crash at turn 11.

Nakagami lost the front-end as his machine was then left completely wrecked after barrel-rolling through tܫhe gravel.&nbs🦩p;

Wꦿith debris still on the circuit, red flags were waved a🌺lthough the stoppage was very brief. 

With the action back underway, Marquez, who fi🍸nished second in Practice 1 headed out of pit lane while Oliveira ℱwent quickest by nearly half a second. 

Usually the rid💫er looking for a tow, Marquez’s stunning record at Sachsenring made him anꦓ obvious rider to follow, which rookie Augusto Fernandez did for several laps.

Coming out of the final corner Ma🌺rquez gave his fellow Spaniard a long look before purposefully  running wide at turn one, as💖 Fernandez decided not to stay behind. 

Despite Ducati showing good speed with Martin, Zarco a𝐆nd Bagnaia, all of whom were inside the top four, Oliveira increased his advantage but another tenth just over half the session remܫaining. 

As Luca Marini added a💜nother Ducati at the front of the field, Oliveira was proving difficult to catch as he broke into the 1m 20s barrier. 

A𝓰 time of 1:20.862s was set by Oliveira which meant his lead was over six tentꦅhs from the Mooney VR46 rider.

Marini did manage to get within half a second on his next lap around, before yellow flags were deployed due to a bizarre crash for Ra♎ul Fernandez.

The Aprilia rider lost control well beyond the exit of turn 11 before remaining on the circuit and sliding to a stop just befor𒈔e turn 12. 

Finding a lot of time at the beginning of his first ti🥂me attack run, Fabio Di G𒈔iannantonio went fastest in P3 - second on combined times behind Zarco. 

Oliveira’s strong P2 performance was not able to carry through until the end of the session as he crashed at 🌼turn 10 with a quarter of the P2 remaining꧂.

Marquez, who already made a big save in P1, made another ridiculous save at turn 11 as he nea🍌rly lℱost the front on two occasions.

Bagnaia then put his name atop the leaderboard as Ducati’s domination resulted in them locking out🙈 the top five positions.

However, Ducati’s part was spoiled when Miller jumped up to P2 while Marquez lo෴oked on course to challenge the top times before losing time in sector three.

Then came the most dramatic crash of P2 as Marc Marquez lost the front-end of his Honda at turn one🐻.

But that was not it as Marquez wiped out Zarco who was exiting pit lane. What was a huge impact resulted in the front wheel of Zarco’🅰s Ducati being taken clean off b🍸y Marquez’s machine. 

The session was red-flagged for a second time, but when the action resumed, fast lap times continued to c🌱ome as Bezzecchi finished fastest ahead of Martin and Ale𝓰ix Espargaro.

There were late falls for Gresini duo Alex Marquez and Di Gian꧑nanto꧒nio.
