At the end of the first day of testing, only Marco Bezzecchi finished at the front among the Championship leaders. His opponents, Arón Canet and Fabio Di Giannantonio, finished in fifteenth and sixteenth places. As for Jorge Martín, injured, he only drove thirteen laps to save himself and, above all, not to take any risks when it rained in the afternoon. Other drivers therefore took the opportunity to lead the sessions, like rookie Jaume Masià, John Mcphee and Lorenzo Dalla Porta.
With rain expected today, the final practice session could be compromised. Start at 9am.

It's 16 degrees in the air and 19 degrees on the track when the Moto3 riders set off in the rain. Philipp Oettl (Sudmetal Schedl GP Racing) is the first to enter the track. The field takes time to completely come out of the pit lane, and that's Fabio Di Giannantonio (Del Conca Gresini) who set the best time in 1'48.597.
Jorge Martín (Del Conca Gresini) decided not to take any risks and is not even in a suit. He will only ride for qualifying today.

After a little more than the first ten minutes, it's the young Vicente Pérez (Reale Avintia Academy) who leads the session, but his time is canceled for going outside the track limit. It therefore makes the best time to Tatsuki suzuki (SIC58 Squadra Corsica). This one is ahead Marco Bezzecchi (PruestlGP), Fabio DiGiannantonio, Jaume Masià et Albert Arenas (Angel Nieto Team Moto3).
gabriel rodrigo (RBA BOE Skull Rider) then took the lead, but halfway through the session he passed Aron Canet (Estrella Galicia 0,0). Both men lead Darryn binder (Red Bull KTM Ajo), Tatsuki suzuki et Enea Bastianini (Leopard Racing). Afterwards, Marco Bezzecchi, Fabio DiGiannantonio, Tony Arbolino (Marinelli Snipers Team), Jaume Masia et Albert Arenas complete the top 10.
Ten minutes before the end, the guest pilot Maximilian Kofler (Motosport Kofler) makes a mistake in turn 3. At the same time, Darryn Binder takes the best time. He continues to do fast laps. The others are also improving because the rain has stopped and the track has started to dry.
In the last two minutes, Marco Bezzecchi takes the lead for thirty-eight thousandths, then improves on the next lap by six tenths. Aron Canet comes to take second place Darryn binder to the checkered flag, and he thus finds himself third. Fabio Di Giannantonio finished sixth. The favorites are therefore at the forefront before qualifying.
