The riders of the Pramac Racing team entered the track from the first second of the session to take advantage of all the time available on the new track in Termas. The track was particularly in lack of grip due to the presence of dirt and sand on the asphalt causing the rear tire to spin a lot in acceleration, this sliding abnormal determined a sudden degradation of the tire.

I'm sorry that in the second free practice session after a few laps we had a technical problem and I had a bad crash, because in that point of the track we go very fast. I have a bit of a headache but for the crash I had I could have gotten hurt much more. I thank the team and the ducats for support. "
