Miller and Ducati move to the top during Free Practice 2 for the Valencia MotoGP, pushing morning pacesetter Nakagami to second.
Mir – who starts the penultimate round with a 37-point lead over Rins and Quartararo, 41-point lead over Vinales and 45-point advantage over Morbidelli and Dovizioso – lost the front of his Suzuki and fell while using the hard front tyre with 11mins to go, but was soon back on track.
Mir will be crowned world champion on Sunday if he has a title lead of at least 26-points.
Marquez fell twice during the session, including at the same Turn 4 as Mir
Tech3 KTM’s Iker Lecuona hopes to return on Saturday after being forced to miss last weekend’s round and self-isolate due to a positive Covid test for his brother and assistant.
