Manuel Gonzalez fastest during a rain-interrupted Free Practice 2 for the Malaysian Moto2 Grand Prix at Sepang.

The rain - and later red - flags were waved due to a sudden downpour, the conditions changing so quickly that the likes of title contender Augusto Fernandez ran off-track while trying to make his way slowly back to the pits.

The session was officially stopped with 22mins to go and delayed for an hour before conditions were good enough for a restart.

The rain confirmed Fernandez's morning time as the quickest of the day while Gonzalez set what proved to be the best Moto2 lap of the afternoon in the opening minutes, just before the rain arrived.
