17.37 – This concludes our live text coverage, dear friends of FormulaPassion.it. Don’t miss the appointment at 9:00 PM with the Sprint, which could prove to be particularly spectacular.

17.35 – Heavy traffic on track has caused many situations under investigation: the stewards are investigating Bezzecchi for potentially impeding Marquez, Ogura for potentially impeding Bagnaia, and Marc Marquez himself for potentially impeding Bastianini. We will see what decisions are made.
17.34 – This is the final Q2 classification:
17.32 – Spectacular qualifying, chaotic but very entertaining. Second pole in a row for a fantastic Fabio Di Giannantonio. Bezzecchi and Acosta with him on the front row. Bagnaia-Mir-Marc Marquez on the second row.
17.31 – Checkered flag! Bagnaia across the line and he’s fourth! Finally a lap without traffic for the three-time world champion, and he takes a good second row.
17.28 – Everyone reaches the finish line and Di Giannantonio jumps to the top! Extraordinary for the VR46 rider 2:00.136, then Bezzecchi and Acosta. Mir drops to P4!
17.27 – Wise choice by Marc Marquez, who started running at the head of this large group.
17.26 – As expected: Bagnaia remains stuck in Ogura’s traffic and is furious!
17.25 – 5 minutes to go. Aldeguer is the only one doing his laps ‘quietly’ and solo. Everyone else has returned to the track together. The risk, however, is slowing each other down.
17.23 – Lots of traffic and a lot of confusion on track, paradoxical given the length of the track. This is the classification situation at the moment:
17.22 – Incredible! Mir ahead of everyone! Splendid lap by the Honda rider in 2:00.591! Over two tenths ahead of Bagnaia. However, only one attempt completed by #63.
17.21 – Second attempt full of chaos: error by Marquez who goes wide, Bastianini crashed.
17.18 – The first attempt ends: Ducatis in front! Bagnaia first in 2:00.815, then Di Giannantonio at 22 thousandths! Marc Marquez is 6 tenths back, but still third! Bezzecchi was unintentionally impeded by Ogura.
17.17 – All riders on track one after another. The only ‘separated’ one is Aldeguer, who has some margin over the others.
17.15 – Green flag! We’re off! Here are the 12 contenders for pole position.
17.10 – Five minutes until the start of Q2. The temperature has risen slightly: 27°C track temperature, 16°C air.
17.06 – Here is the final Q1 classification:
17.05 – Moreira across the line, he improves but is P4 in 2:01.306. Fernandez thus edged out by 18 thousandths by Mir. The 2020 world champion and Aldeguer are the two qualifiers for Q2.
17.03 – Aldeguer ahead of everyone in 2:00.977! Mir does not improve and ‘drops’ to P2, but at this moment he would still be qualified.
17.01 – Riders on track for the final run. Toprak, Miller, and Rins are ‘in a group’ together. Everyone else forms a separate second group on track.
16.58 – This is the classification situation with 6 minutes left in Q1: Mir and Fernandez would be the qualifiers at the moment.
16.57 – Dangerous crash for Quartararo, who nevertheless managed to return to the pits. Yamaha still in great difficulty.

16.56 – Second attempt completed: Mir improves again at the top, Aldeguer jumps to P2 2:01.700. But Raul Fernandez immediately responds! 2:01.610 and returns to P2!
16.53 – The first lap ends. Mir and Fernandez would currently be the two qualifiers in 2:01.324 and 2:01.702 respectively.
16.50 – Green flag! Q1 starts. Here are the 11 challengers for the two spots that guarantee access to Q2:
16.45 – Everything ready now for Q1, which will start in 5 minutes.
16.40 – Checkered flag! Here is the final classification situation at the end of FP2:
16.39 – Bezzecchi back on track with the second bike. The World Championship leader wants to regain confidence before Q2.
