Fernandez stays top in hectic final practice

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Full Qatar Moto3 FP3 results

Raul Fernandez has held on to top spot in both the final practice session and on the combined times for Red Bull KTM Ajo as the majority of the Moto3 field end up tripping over each other hunting a fast final💮 lap in the closing minutes.

The Spanish rider led the field following Friday practice and duly did the same in FP3 despite none of the top riders being able to improve overall in the windy final practice. As a result of conditions and some questi♔onable riding tactics, the top 14 remained unchanged at the end of the session meaning the same names head straight into Q2 in qualifying later today.

With the b♊ulk of the Moto3 field hunting a Q2 spot with a late fast lap, a familiar train of riders formed coming out of pitlane in the closing minutes. But rather than pushing on, many riders held back looking for a tow which eve🅷ntually wrecked all their laps as nobody at the sharp end improved.

Moto3 riders have already been warned꧒ about stricter penalties in a bid to stop this pattern occurring in 2020, meaning a number of ri🐼ders could be at risk of grid penalties or worse for the opening round in Qatar.

Despite failing to improve on his FP2 time, Fernandez still held on to top spot in FP3 with a 2m 05.465s to pull out almost a quarter of a second over nearest challenger Dennis Foggia on the Leopar🃏d Racing Honda. SIC58 Squadra Corse Honda’s Tatsuki Suzuki claimed third place ahead of fellow countryman Ryusei Yamanaka on the Estrella Galici 0,0 Honda who was one of the few riders to improve on their persona🧜l best in the final session.

Qatar pre-season test timesheet-topper Filip Salac grabbed fifth place in FP3 for Rivacold Snipers Honda, despite ▨a small off at Turn 5, but ended the session in front of Honda Team Asia’s Ai Ogura and the Czech Republic rider’s team-mate Tony Arbolino.

Albert Arenas (Aspar KTM), Andrea Migno (Sky Racing Team VR46 KTM) and Jaume Masia (Leop🦂ard Racing Honda) completed the top 🤪10 in FP3.
