Before this 20-minute Warm Up of the Moto3 category of the Thai Grand Prix, the big question is whether Jorge Martin, whose state of health deteriorated yesterday, will be able to run, and if so, under what conditions.

The Spanish driver leading the world championship is only 13 points ahead of his challenger Marco Bezzecchi who will start in pole position: the pressure is therefore on the Gresini team's camp but, this morning, the young Spanish driver is there, with a homemade system based on elastics allowing him empirically to use his hand, but here, at the start of this 20-minute Warm Up!

The weather is always good in Thailand, with pristine blue skies and temperatures of 28° in the air and 36° on the track.

Here are the available chronometric references:

At the very beginning of the session, Enea Bastianini (Honda, Leopard Racing) seems to try a soft rear tire for a flying lap before returning to his box following Dunlop's recommendation to those who would like to try this daring bet in the race.

Jakub Kornfeil (KTM, PruestlGP), very fast on the first day, set the first benchmark in 1'43.787 before this was lowered a few laps later by Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Honda, Leopard Racing) in 1'43.140.

Mid-session, neither Marco Bezzecchi (KTM, PruestlGP), nor George Martin (Honda, Del Conca Gresini) do not appear in the top 10, while Tatsuki suzuki (Honda, SIC58 Squadra Corse), which has just renewed its contract with Paolo Simoncelli, minor fall at turn 6.

A little after, Marco Bezzecchi took command in 1'42.861, during his 5th flying lap, followed by 1 tenth by Marcos Ramirez (Bester Capital Dubai).

Adam Norrodin (Petronas Sprinta Racing) falls without gravity at the first corner while Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Honda, Leopard Racing) takes advantage of the spotlight of Marco Bezzecchi (KTM, PruestlGP) to achieve the best time in 1'42.535.

George Martin (Honda, Del Conca Gresini) finally finished in 6th position.
