Moto3’s third free practice at Jerez started with very cool temperatures and the now characteristic rain, but Miguel Oliveira continued to show his particular feeling on the slippery Spanish track as he again posted the best time in the last minutes of the session with a flying lap of 1’58″ which left Red Bull KTM Ajo Factory riders Arthur Sissis and Danny Ken, second and third respectively, more than one second adrift.
Luis Salom (RW Racing GP) was fourth, while Romano Fenati took fifth before a highside at the Nieto turn in the last minutes took him out of the finale.
He was followed on the timesheets by Jakub Kornfeil and Efren Vasquez.
The JHK T-Shirt LaGlisse rider also crashed out at the same turn as Fenati, only he took down a hapless Jack Miller with him.
Sandro Cortese was 8th, while yesterday’s crasher Hector Faubel moved up to 9th and Zulfahmi Khairuddin, also victim of a crash closed out the top ten.
The tricky conditions also saw crashes by Isaac Vinales, Kenta Fuji and Alan Techer, while points leader Maverick Vinales decided to save himself for this afternoon’s qualifying session as he finished in 11th and 2.
2 seconds adrift.
