Columbian rider Yonny Hernandez topped the timesheets after the second session of free practice for the Moto2 class at Jerez, the BQR rider putting on a spectacular display of sliding his way around the Spanish track. Hernandez finished just ahead of Qatar race winner Shoya Tomizawa on the Technomag CIP Suter, and Tom Luthi on the Interwetten bike. Yesterday's fastest rider Alex Debon finished in 3rd on the FTR, ahead of former MotoGP rider Alex de Angelis.
The session was extremely hectic, the 42 bikes out on the track making finding a spot of clear track extremely difficult. Riders were resorting to almost race tactics, bumping each other out of the way to make some room, the most blatant incident being Ant West stuffing his MZ up the inside of Luthi, forcing both men to back off a fraction and start all over again. Toni Elias - 8th in the session - ended up in the gravel, folding the front wheel at the end of the back straight, after not quite making the corner. Elias was unhurt, luckily for the Gresini rider, as he is still recovering from broken ankles suffered before the start of the season.

That's certainly one argument in favor of spec engines...
