Alvaro Bautista was quickest at the end of the second session, heading off a challenge by Toprak Razgatlioglu. Bautista's teammate Michael Ruben Rinaldi was third quickest in a session that was seconds quicker than this morning's tentative outing on new tarmac.
Iker Lecuona and Hafizh Syahrin both brought out the red flags with big crashes in the extreme heat, with the track reaching 61ºC. Both riders were taken to the medical centre.

Wow
Nearly 0.5s to Toprak, then another 0.5s to Rinaldi, amazing gaps in the current competitive climate.
This Track
For some reason I just don't see this track as being around 4 years from now. does the local or state governments have a stake in it? As an old asphalt paving guy it looks like it'll need a complete repave in under 3 years.
Re-repave
Yes Richard they have just done some more repaving. About a year after the first races.

Jonathan Rea not impressed with the very new asphalt;
Jonathan Rea, stated: 'This morning the track was so dirty. And even in the afternoon I felt OK on the racing line, in most areas, but some areas are critical. Off the racing line was a nightmare. The set-up we arrived with, considering the grip level that we would face in FP1, was quite far from our base set-up, from a balance and position point of view' from MotorcycleSports.net
I'm hoping the championship won't be decided this weekend.
That's a shame. Rare turns at
That's a shame. Rare turns at this track from 4 to 10. I read about the resurface, was hoping it would be a winner.
