PHOTO.GP Contributor Tony Goldsmith shows us what Friday at Le Mans looks like

Above, Bradley Smith scorched a 1’33.179 near the end of FP2 to take the Friday honors and put Tech3 Yamaha on the top of the sheet at their home GP.

Marc Marquez ended up fifth on the day.

Scott Redding was fast in FP1 but ended up 14th in FP2.

Dani Pedrosa has retuernd after his surgery recuperation and was only a tenth behind teammate Marquez. Sadly that meant six places behind Smith.

Aleix Espargaro was ninth but not for lack of trying. His mechanics will have some crash repair work to do tonight.
