MotoGP Gp Americas Austin Free Practice 3 – The reigning champion Fabio Quartararo achieved the best time in the third free practice session of the MotoGP class in Austin, the circuit where the Grand Prix of the Americas is scheduled for Sunday.

The Yamaha rider set the best lap with a time of 2:02.361, a time that allowed him to beat our Enea Bastianini, Ducati Gresini, by just 59 thousandths.

Third time for another Ducati, the official one of Jack Miller. The Australian, who has a gap from the top of just 86 thousandths, precedes the returning Marc Marquez and team-mate Pecco Bagnaia.

Pol Espargarò with the second Repsol Honda is sixth, ahead of Joan Mir's Suzuki (he crashed without consequences, ed.) Takaaki Nakagami's Honda LCR, and Luca Marini's Team Mooney VR46 Ducati.

Aleix Espargarò closes the Top Ten, but will have to go through Q1 given that despite a fall and the 15th time, Johann Zarco goes through with the FP2 time trial, who also crashed without consequences like team-mate Jorge Martin, who finished 17th.

They will have to go through Q1 among others: Rins, Morbidelli, Vinales, Dovizioso, Binder and Martin.
