21° on the track, 17° in the air, but, above all, a dry track and clouds above on the Sachsenring who are content to just enjoy the spectacle... These are the conditions proposed for this last free practice session of this German Grand Prix which will move on, after the lunch break, to its qualifying phases. The Moto2s are thus the last to start.
Friday, Lüthi had shown himself to his advantage on a track which should not be considered his favorite. To put things back in mind, here is the table that the whole world envies:

In Teutonic lands, the Germanic chassis also shone with a Suter and a KTM in the leading trio, thanks to the stage local Schrotter et Olive tree. The dominators of this season, the Marc VDS drivers, were discreet but still in the game. Finally, we will have a thought for Pasini on this Saturday which will undoubtedly be felt by his violent caper of the day before.

From the start, the championship leader Morbidely dotted the i's by erasing the best performance of the day before with a 1'24.418 recorded at the top of the timesheet. Schrotter followed, confirming his ambitions in front of his compatriots with Suter. MacKenzie, meanwhile, was having a good time with the Swiss motorcycle.
A quarter of an hour from the goal, it's still Morbidely who made the talk with a 1'24.130 which brought him closer to the track record held since last year by Johann zarco on bitumen which was then more degraded. Nakagami et Courses, with the SpeedUp, pushed back Shrotter in fourth position. Olive tree closed the top 5 at Lüthi. Quarterly was twentieth and Pasini in the top 10. Remy Gardner put the Mistral610 in thirteenth place, before the final outburst.
We told you he was flying…
