Rain on Saturday morning in Japan keeps Moto2 title leader Augusto Fernandez fastest after FP2.
The session was red flagged with 28mins to go in order to retrieve the fallen bike of Manuel Gonzalez, which was left lying in the track after a big highside at Turn 6. Gonzalez walked away holding his left arm and was put on a stretcher.
Home star and title contender Ai Ogura was among the others to fall in the treacherous conditions, with Speed Up's Fermin Aldeguer setting the quickest time.
