Moto GP Round 6 - Great Britain (Friday)

It was a great second day to the British round of the MotoGP today (If you count Thursday's Day of Champions as day 1). Even the heavens opening during the 125's second practice session didnt dampen spirits, with a quick swap from slicks to wets and the resumption of the session.

In the 125cc class, France's Johann Zarco topped the results after FP2 with the fastest time of 2'34.174, closely followed by Great Britain's own Danny Webb in 2nd with 2'36.956.

Great Britains' fortunes at the home race was strengthened in the Moto2, with Bradley Smith coming in the top three after FP2 with a lap of 2'16.741. He followed Marc Marquez (2nd with a time of 2'15.207) and Randy Krummenacher (1st with a time of 2'15.090).

Casey Stoner managed to hold off some fierce competition from Jorge Lorenzo during both practice sessions, with the pair swapping throughout before Stoner clinched the fastest time at 2'15.666. Marco Simoncelli came in 2nd with a time of 2'16.463 and Nicky Hayden rounded off the top three with a lap of 2'17.070.

And, again, GBR does itself proud with Cal Crutchlow coming fourth fastest at his home round praqctice, finishing ahead of the current champion Jorge Lorenzo and the struggling Valentino Rossi, with a time of 2'18.109.
