After yesterday’s MotoGP’s two very tight practice sessions, this morning’s third free practice at Le Mans, the situation was very different, and the weather had nothing to do with it as it was sunny and dry.
Marc Marquez took the top of the timesheets in a dominating manner.

The MotoGP rookie in the finale posted two stunning laps under the 1.
34 mark – and the only rider to do so – and stopped the clock in 1.

The record had been held by his team mate Dani Pedrosa, who ended up third fastest in the session, but almost six tenths adrift.

Le Mans may not be Nicky Hayden’s favorite circuit but this morning he was fourth fastest and ahead of Cal Crutchlow, and his Ducati team mate Andrea Iannone and a surprisingly excellent Bradley Smith who 7th fastest and less than a second from Marquez.

Ahead Rossi as we said who was a lowly 9th, was Alvaro Bautista in 8th.
The Gresini rider suffered a huge crash at the Chicane under the Dunlop bridge, but seemed not to have suffered any serious injuries.
Yonny Hernandez and Hector Barbera also crashed during the session.
The last rider to go directly to the Q2 was Stefan Bradl, another rider who like Rossi was unable to improve which left him down on the timesheets.
