Having dominated the opening practice at Assen on Friday morning, Bezzecchi carried that form into the hour-long afternoon session to lead Pramac’s Jorge Martin by 0.130 seconds.
Bezzecchi’s FP1 time went unchallenged until he bettered it on the penultimate lap of his session.
For the first half an hour, only reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia had made a dent on the combined order.
The factory Ducati rider moved up to 10th with a 1m33.418s, before improving to a 1m33.093s.
It wouldn’t be for another 15 minutes until there was a major move on the combined order, with Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro moving up to fourth with a 1m32.741s.
This signalled the soft tyre time attack phase of FP2 as the field put in their efforts to secure a direct place in Q2 for Saturday’s qualifying.
With just under 20 seconds left on the clock, Bezzecchi cemented top spot with a 1m32.063s to see out Friday fastest of all.
