Out on track, most of the fan signs were supporting the Rossi guy.

More than once Marquez had trouble getting it stopped at San Donato, but in the afternoon he ended up second fastest.

Jorge Lorenzo told us in the press conference that this is his favorite circuit, but his body language in the box didn’t appear that of a rider who has won the previous two races.

Iannone was fourth fastest, and continues to live up to his nickname, The Maniac. Just look at him, he’s CRAZY!

Bradley Smith was fifth.

Cal Crutchlow is looking faster in Italy than he was in France.

After a rough start to FP1, when he needed a ride back to the paddock from San Donato, Aleix Espargaro claimed seventh place in FP2.

Scott Redding is looking for a good result on his 2015 factory Honda. He was only .685 behind the fastest time.

Rossi was ninth and not where he wanted to end the day.

Dani Pedrosa is still looking for a full race distance effort to judge the effectiveness of his arm pump surgery.

Marquez’ team was so quick to shut the garage door that Javi got locked out. They let him in, eventually.
