-----------------

Saturday morning in Austin was somewhat as predicted although the umbrellas went down quite some time*before the lightweight class hit the bumpy track. It might have been 17 degrees and overcast but the surface was dry and it allowed for another proper practice session.

Jaume Masia grabbed an early lead and stood at the top of the timesheets until the final run in time attack mode threatened his position. The lightweight King of COTA, Jorge Martin, retook his rightful position in the final five minutes to get close to Friday’s benchmark but not quite under it and the situation proved far from settled as Lorenzo Dalla Porta showed great speed to snatch the lead of the session on his penultimate lap.
