2014 Le Mans MotoGP FP2 Results: Marquez Tops Tight Contest

Marc Marquez topped the field in Friday's second MotoGP qualifying session but only by a hair's breadth. Marquez's 1'33.452 at the Le Mans circuit left him only seven-thousandths clear of Andrea Iannone who put in a blistering lap toward the end of the afternoon session. Alvaro Bautista finished his day another two-tenths back. Bradley Smith (4th) saved his best for last and jumped several places in the order on his final lap.

Dani Pedrosa also set his fast time late in the session but was dropped into fifth after the late runs of Iannone and Smith. Stefan Bradl, still recovering from arm-pump surgery last week, managed sixth just in front of Jorge Lorenzo. Andrea Dovizioso ended the session six-tenths from the leader, followed closely by Aleix Espargaro. An improved final lap allowed Valentino Rossi to climb into 10th from 11th.
