Lap record set by Bezzecchi to end Practice fastest

That's it for afternoon practice as Bezzecchi tops it ahead of Vinales, Pedrosa, Martin and Marini.

15:01

Bezzecchi snatches the lap record away from Vinales. 

15:00

Slightly off line heading into turn 15 and it's cost Aleix Espargaro as he's joined his brother in crashing. Espargaro will need to go through Q1.

14:59

Big risk but big reward for Marquez as he goes third after using a two from Pedrosa, who went second.

14:58

Raul Fernandez has gone down at turn 14 as has Pol Espargaro at turn 15.

14:54

We're entering the final runs for every rider, but can anyone beat Vinales' lap record?

14:52

There's now four tenths between VInales and Bezzecchi. 

14:51
Vinales breaks the lap record!

Wow! Vinales has just broken the lap record. It's the first-ever sub 1m 31s lap.

14:50

Correction it was a turn three fall for Miller. Meanwhile, Bezzecchi has gone quickest. 

14:48

Disaster for Jack Miller as he's gone down at turn one. Miller had just moved into the top ten. 

14:43

Aleix Espargaro moves into the top ten after his latest flying lap, but the double winner last time out is half a second down on Martin's time.

14:40

As Martin goes top on a medium rear tyre, Quartararo, Di Giannantonio and Marini are all out on soft rear tyres.

14:38

Unbelievable! Pedrosa goes even quicker and leads by over a tenth from Martin.

14:37

Pedrosa is continuing to lead the way with less than half the session remaining. Time attacks will begin soon. 

14:26

Dani Pedrosa's stunning start to the weekend is continuing as he goes top. 

14:22

Not for the first time this season, Marc Marquez is following Francesco Bagnaia, something he could be doing next season on a Ducati machine. 

14:16

Bezzecchi and Vinales are still over four tenths clear of Martin, Pirro and Luca Marini. 

14:11

The pace is certainly ramping up at Misano as Marco Bezzecchi is putting his left wrist injury to one side. The Italian has narrowly gone quicker than Vinales. 

14:10

Vinales now blasts his way into the 1m 31s barrier and increases his lead by four tenths.

14:08

It's not Maverick Vinales who fires himself to the top of the leaderboard after setting the quickest lap of the weekend so far.

14:07

Martin goes top for Ducati but only by -0.024s.

14:06

Lap times are already challenging the top time from FP1 as Brad Binder leads the way for KTM. 

14:00

Practice 2 is underway at Misano. 

13:58

Michele Pirro was fastest for Ducati during this morning's Free Practice 1.
