Pol Espargarò achieved the best time in the third and final free practice session of the Moto2 class in Austin, scene of the second stage of the 2013 world championship. The Team Pons rider stopped the clock at a time of 2:11.575, a time of just 83 thousandths better than the one scored by the British Scott Redding, the best on Day 1.

Third time for the Japanese Takaaki nakagami, also riding a Kalex as well as Espargarò and Redding. The Team Italtrans driver who had been a great protagonist in the tests in Qatar, only to then lose himself in the race, preceded the Spaniards Nico Terol and Esteve Rabat and the Roman Simone Corsi, the best of the Italians.

The Speed ​​Up (Team NGM Mobile Racing) driver placed behind his brand mate Anthony West (QMMF Racing Team) and the Frenchman of Came Iodaracing Project Johann Zarco. Closing out the Top Ten are the Belgian Xavier Simeon and the Spaniard Ricky Cardus, a great friend of Jorge Lorenzo.

Further back are our Mattia Pasini and Alex de Angelis, in nineteenth and twenty-third position respectively. The Swiss Thomas Luthi did not take part in the session, suffering from pain with his elbow injured about two months ago in the Valencia tests. The Team Interwetten driver will not take part in tomorrow's race either.
