A touch of sunshine finally broke through the clouds over the Spanish circuit just ahead of the Moto3 class giving it another go for the day. Despite the widespread dry sections, the damp patches encouraged riders to make a few laps on rain tyres to begin with.

The likes of Canet, Fenati, Mir and Bastianini only joined the track in the final fifteen minutes, with Martin only putting in a couple of laps at the very end of the session. On a drying surface, FP1 leader Canet established himself as the fastest man by topping the timesheets soon after. World championship leader Mir had some legitimate claims at the top honour as well, but his enthusiasm came with a few trips outside track limits. After posting the first time of the afternoon into the 1:59s, that lap got cancelled, but a final push from the Spaniard put him back into contention and saw him finish the session at the top of the standings.
