While Aprilia continued to show pace, Marc ꦍMarquez and Jorge Martin were also very quick as the eight-time world champion took over from the championꦇship leader.

Marquez then improved again on his next lap as he dipped under𒁏 the 1m 40s barrier for the first tim൲e this weekend.

Brad Binder soon joined Marquez in setting a sub 1m 40s lap, however, topping the Gresini rider was proving very difficul𒆙t.

Trying to push on, Binder made a mistake at turn ten as he slid his way into the left-hander before running off circui𒁏t.

With race runs in full slow, Marquez, Binder and Martin all had si🍸milar pace, with Francesco Bagnaia not far beh𒈔ind.

Hop𝓀ing to make steps forward after further upgrades were brought forward, Johann Zarco, who was 12th fastest with ten minutes remaini🗹ng, held off from trying the new fairing and exhaust.

There were late yellow flags in sector four when Binder had anotherꦺ off track moment.

Electing to run a new❀ soft rear tyre late on, Martin showed impressive speed as he went quickest by nearly three tenths of Marquez.
