Michael Rinaldi and Philipp Oettl reappeared in Italy

Michael Ruben Rinaldi and Philipp Oettl joined the battle for the top position at the Misano Circuit Marco Simoncelli.

Italian Ducati rider Rinaldi showed from first practice on Friday that he was one of the Italian layout specialists. In the first and second training sessions he finished the fourth ride in more than ten laps in 1.34, less than two -tenths behind his teammate Álvaro Bautista. In this way, the Italian driver gave indications that he was ready to compete with the top drivers in the race.
