The intermediate class cannot catch a break – when the rain falls, it turns extra heavy when Moto2 riders hit the track. In rather cold and treacherous conditions, times were quite a way off from Friday pace and there was little hope to find major improvements throughout the session.

While Tom Luthi claimed top position in the early part of FP3, title rival Franco Morbidelli had a tip off in turn twelve in the first handful of laps.*With the title contenders into the pits, the lead of the session was claimed by Hafizh Syahrin, The Fish living up to his nickname once more to put nearly four tenths into the pursuers. The time stuck until the flag dropped and the Malaysian rider claimed the third practice session.
