The sky is really gray for this last verification session that constitutes the Warm UP.
And it takes on its full importance in the case of Moto3 in Austin, since qualifying was reduced to its bare minimum, due to the rain.
The air is 19°, the ground is 21°, but above all, the track is dry!
These are therefore favorable conditions for finalizing the settings and choosing the tires for the race.
If, with the presence of the usual leaders at the front, the session appears more normal than the day before, we note however that Phillip Oettl, the pole sitter who was able to take full advantage of a few laps in the dry yesterday, is still there!
The two former teammates, Jorge Navarro and Fabio Quartararo, are therefore leading the debates, Navarro still well behind by 6 tenths, ahead of Niccolo Antonelli who absolutely had to strengthen himself, although he will start shortly from 30th position. .
Behind, we find Enea Bastianini and Phillip Oettl in a compact group in which we have to go to 21st place to note Jules Danilo, then to 25th for Alexis Masbou.
Maria Herrera falls quite violently at turn #11.
At the last second, Niccolo Antonelli gets the better of Fabio Quartararo.
