While there was no rain at the beginning of FP3, the track was still wet following overnight rain which resulted in lap times being a long way off Jonathan Re☂a’s best time from FP1. 

Alvaro Bautista was one of the first riders to head out on ci🌃rcuit, alongside fellow Ducati rider Danil꧙o Petrucci who was following the world champion.

• Bautista: Toprak, Jonathan the favourites - I’ll f𒈔ight them 🧸if I can 
• Bassani: Satellite MotoGP team is a “real factory team” - WorldSBK not ღthe same 

Adjusting very quickly to the conditions, Toprak Razgatlioglu signalled his intent as he went close to two seconds clear of Petru🧜cci. 

After seeing Bautista and Petrucci move back ahead of him, Razgatlioglu looked set to 💧move the benchmark time further forward before losing out in sec💝tor four. 

Like on Friday, Rea was in no rush to get o🔯ut on circuit 🧜as he remained in pit lane along with teammate Alex Lowes.

Also choosing to sit 𒐪out the early stages were the likes of Axel Bassani, Scoꦰtt Redding and Tom Sykes. 

Meanwhile, Bautista improved by ne😼arly a seco▨nd in order to three tenths between himself and Petrucci. 

As Rea finally took to the track with 18 minutes remaining, Bautista was setting a very strong 💟pace as he found another four te🐠nths on his latest effort. 

One of the strongest riders in damp conditions, Rea t🀅ook over at the top on just his third flying lap before finding another 1.1ꦉ seconds on his next lap. 

A time of 1:30.195s put him 1.2 seconds clear of Bautista, however, Andrea Locatelli managed to get wit♍hin half a second after following the Kawasaki ri♍der.

Locatelli then put his name aꦡtop the leaderboard after breaking the 1m 30s barrier for the first time in FP3. 

Over a tenth down with one sector to go, R✱ea produced a brilliant end to the lap in order to overhaul Locatelli by just -0.00ﷺ7s. 

Although Rea improved again on his next lap, it wasn’t enough to retain top spot as Lowes managed to pip the six-time world champio🐎n. 

A first 1m 28s lap of the session then saw Rea regain top spot ahead of Lowes, while Locatelli🌜 closed in by going third - three tenths off. 

After swapping position on-track, Lowes fought 🧔back again to take top sp🍰ot away from Rea. 

Leading the way early on before Kawasaki showed the🎀ir hand, Razgatlioglu was determined to end the🔜 session on top as he went fastest with a time of 1:28.320s. 

However, Razgatlioglu’s time was then s🌞hattered by Bautista as the Ducati rider went half a secon🅘d clear of the Turkish star. 

There was a big crash for Oliver Konig late on, which left his Kawasaki machine complet🍌ely wrecked. 

Razgaꩵtlioglu improved on his next lap but it wasn’t enough to jump ahead of Bautista, who finished -0.144s clear.
