Due to very dense fog on the Aragon circuit and the absence of wind to keep it away, the warm up sessions on Sunday morning were delayed. Jorge Martin was the fastest in the Moto3 warm up ahead of Joan Mir, Aron Canet, Ayumu Sasaki, Gabriel Rodrigo and Marcos Ramirez.

The weather was beautiful on the MotorLand circuit this Sunday morning for the Moto3 warm-up, with a temperature of 15° for the air and 16° for the track. The fog rolled in about five minutes before the session started. The start of the warm up was delayed by ten minutes due to lack of visibility.
The session was stopped at the end of the first lap with a red flag due to insufficient visibility.

In the absence of wind, the fog did not disperse and visibility on the track remained too limited.
