MotoGP Estoril: Casey Stoner leads in FP2

Fortunately this afternoon’s MotoGPs second free practice at Estoril was dry, but slippery so the riders were all using the softer rear tire.
Casey Stoner who has never won at the Portughuese track, took the top of the timesheets with a best lap of 1.
38.
396.
The Australian also had another of his usual misunderstandings with a slower rider, this time it was Hector Barbera who baulked him on one of his fast laps.

Ben Spies looks like he’s recovered the feeling that he has lost on his front, something that he was lamenting at Jerez, as he put in the second best time using one of Jorge Lorenzo’s settings and changing the weight distribution on his M1 and he was a little more than three tenths adrift from Stoner.
Seeing Cal Crutchlow in the top spots is no longer a surprise as the Briton took third and he was just 0.
024s from Yamaha factory rider Spies.
Dani Pedrosa was a little more than four tenths from his Repsol Honda team mate, while Jorge Lorenzo will be an upset birthday boy as he could only finish in fifth and was more than half a second off pace with Alvaro Bautista on his tail separated by just 0.

029s.
Nicky Hayden was once again the fastest Ducati rider in 7th followed by Hector Barbera and Valentino Rossi who was 9th and for the first time less than one second adrift (0.
961) losing time in the last sector, but he was still a big four tenths of second from his team mate.
Closing out the top ten was Andrea Dovizioso followed by Karel Abraham and rookie Stefan Bradl who was the last rider on the prototypes.
Randy de Puniet was again the fastest on the Aprilia CRT and he was a little less than two tenths from the LCR rider.
