The Moto3™ class kicked off the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas, with David Alonso (CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team) ending the session quickest after setting a blistering 2:16.537 on the final lap of the session. The Colombian was ahead of the Championship leader, Daniel Holgado (Red Bull GASGAS Tech3) who ended the session in second after a quick lap in the final lap minutes.
