Jorge Martin takes the lead at the end of EL2 

After Aleix Espargaro in FP1, it's Jorge Martin's turn to set the best time in the second free practice session of the Aragon GP. The Pramac driver clocked a time of 1'47.402. 

fabio quartararo, who seems to have found solutions to make the difference on this track which is usually difficult for the Yamaha, rose to second, 74 thousandths behind Martin. He is ahead of his compatriot Johann Zarco, Enea Bastianini and his main rival for the title in the person of Francesco Bagnaia, who drops two tenths to Martin.
