Johann Zarco once again led the timesheets during FP3 at a wet Jerez.
Last year’s 125cc runner-up layed down a 1:54.
463 lap in what turned out to be a rushed last minute three-way battle between the JiR rider, Thomas Luthi and Andrea Iannone.
The Moto2 rookie pipped Luthi by just 0.
028s with Iannone ending up third and 0.
225s adrift after his Speed Master machine suffered a technical problem on his last lap out.
Marc Marquez took fourth and was less that half a second from Zarco, while Randy Krummenacherwas fifth, but he was more than one second from the top of the timesheets and he was followed Pol Espargaro, Xavier Simeon and Simone Corsi.
From Corsi’s 8th spot to the 11th position lap times were very close with Bradley Smith, Claudio Corti and Anthony West right on his tail, with less than a tenth separating all four riders.
Yuki Takahashi and Mike Di Meglio crashed out at the Ducados, as did Max Neukirchner who had his left arm caught under the handlebars of his Kalex machine, but apparently didn’t suffer any serious injuries.
