Pagliani powers to the top in FP3

CIP rider gets in the groove as the rain remains at Motegi

Manuel Pagliani (CIP) put in a stunning performance in Moto3™ FP3, fast and consistent to top the session and continuously lower his laptime – until ending the session almost a tenth clear of home hero Tatsuki Suzuki (SIC58 Squadra Corse). Nicolo Bulega (Sky Racing Team VR46), fastest on Friday and still fastest overall, was third quickest.

There were a number of crashes, including a highside for Niccolo Antonelli (Red Bull KTM Ajo) – rider ok.
