The Red Bull KTM Tech3 duo of Marco Bezzecchi and Philipp Öttl initiated the home Grand Prix for Red Bull and KTM in a decent way. While the Italian Moto2 newcomer concluded the day only 1.034 seconds off the top, the German intermediate class rookie finished just 0.374 seconds behind his teammate
Compared to FP1, both went faster towards the end of this afternoon’s session and are eager to make further steps in FP3 tomorrow morning at 10.55 local time.

"This Friday was quite good as a start, we were close. Although with the new tyres we were struggling a bit with our setting and we were slower. We know, that we have to work more on this part and continue the line tomorrow and then we will see what we can do."
Philipp Öttl
Position: 26th
Time: 1:30.437
Laps: 35
"Today was way better than Friday in Brno. We are really close. It’s a short circuit, but still we are more into the pack and I think racing will be fun. We still have a lot of things to learn, but I think we get closer. Tomorrow we will try something else and I imagine it’s something we can truly benefit from."
