The Moto3 riders experienced a strange end to qualifying, with half the field exiting too late to do their last run, including the top finishers in the Championship. Thus, Fabio Di Giannantonio lost his provisional pole for fifth place, just ahead of Arón Canet, not counting Enea Bastianini and Marco Bezzecchi who finished tenth and fourteenth. Many drivers will therefore have to make the most of the last free session this morning to check all their settings. Start of Warm Up at 8:40 a.m.

It was 26 degrees in the air and 32 degrees on the track when the Moto3 field set off for its twenty minutes of Warm Up. Aron Canet (Estrella Galicia 0,0) established the reference time in 2'09.632, before returning first place a few minutes later to Enea Bastianini (Leopard Racing) which improved by six tenths.
Jaume Masia (Bester Capital Dubai) suffered a technical problem and was forced to exit the track, while Tony Arbolino (Marinelli Snipers Team) took the best time, being the first to go under the 2'09 mark.
After ten minutes, and therefore halfway through the session, the young Italian is still leading Enea Bastianini, Aron Canet, Ayumu Sasaki (Petronas Sprinta Racing) and Tatsuki Suzuki (SIC58 Squadra Corsica). Afterwards, Marco Bezzecchi (PruestlGP), Philipp Oettl (Sudmetal Schedl GP Racing), Adam Norrodin (Petronas Sprinta Racing), Andrea Migno (Ángel Nieto Team Moto3) and Nakarin Atiratphuvapat (Honda Team Asia) complete the top 10.
Two minutes from the end, Aron Canet regains the best place and further improves his own time on his last lap, which allows him to increase his lead and finish first in this Warm Up.
