De Corsedimoto.com

Jonathan Rea falls without consequences when he enters the track. Loris Baz is the fastest in the last free practices, still in the wet. At 11 a.m. the Superpole.

Jonathan Rhea lost control at turn 7, the same place where he miraculously escaped at the end of FP2. This time the Kawasaki flew into the sand, with very little damage. The rider got up quickly and was able to bring the motorcycle directly to the garage. On a day marked by bad weather, therefore full of risks, we will see what the Cannibal's tactic will be: Avoid problems or go on the attack? During this time, Loris Baz takes command of operations, French Yamaha rider Ten Kate is keen to do well on his home track. It precedes Alex Lowes, with the second Kawasaki, and Friday's record holder, Garrett gerloff .

 Ducatists cautious

Scott Redding took his time, tenth, almost four seconds behind Baz: Throwing himself to the ground in this session would not have provided the right feeling for Jonathan Rea's challenger. The British precedes Michael Rinaldi, thirteenth. With the other Panigale from the Aruba.it team, Chaz Davies goes upstream, fifth. The internal fight between Ducati representatives will be one of the reasons for this afternoon's race.

Superpole at 11 a.m., in what weather conditions? 

Uncertainty reigns over the weather conditions ahead of the Superpole, which starts at 11 a.m. The situation ahead of Race 1 is clearer, with torrential rain forecast. It will therefore be a very busy afternoon for the drivers and teams. Considering also that Jonathan Rhea et Scott Redding are playing decisive points for the Superbike title.
