The lightweight class were greeted with bright blue skies in the Austrian hills as the times tumbled throughout the session. There was plenty of swapping and changing for P1 throughout FP1 but in the end it was Kornfeil who led the way, edging out Arbolino by 0.188 right at the end of play. Vietti leads Championship contender Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Leopard Racing) who, in turn, sits just ahead of title rival and overall standings leader Aron Canet (Sterilgarda Max Racing Team).
Moto3™ FP2 will be getting underway at 13:15 local time (GMT+2) – tune in!
