After a slightly more difficult first round of practice, the reigning world champion seemed to get right back into the same form in which he dominated the warm up event a few months ago. Juan Carlos Canas is within touching distance so we might be in for a classic Ongaro vs Canas duel which we have seen so many times over in Europe.

Possibly the happiest guy out of the top 13 might be Camden Lime who was incredibly strong all day, running at a pace we've yet to see from him prior to the event as he completes the day as the top American in all three rounds.

Some top names are still on the back foot such as Ryan Maifield down in 28th and the runner up from two years ago, Elliott Boots, down in 21st. There is still two more days of practice ahead and the track is developing so much that there is more than enough time for everyone to find their footing.
