On the still wet track at the Algarve Circuit, in southern Portugal, it was Portugal’s Miguel Oliveira (KTM) who set the best time, ahead of Spaniard Juan Mir (Suzuki) and Quartararo (Yamaha)

Marc Marquez (Honda) fell hard on his head again after losing control of his bike on the wet track. The Spanish pilot does not appear to have been seriously affected. A victim of several falls in recent months, he has had to miss two Grands Prix already this year due to vision problems after having crashes. However, he managed to get the fifth time before crashing.

Another victim of the wet track, South African Brad Bender (KTM) got up without difficulty after a long slip. He got the fourth time of the session. The second Frenchman to enter the MotoGP, Johann Zarco (Ducati-Pramac), made the eighth combined time of the three test sessions, so he will also move straight into the second quarter.
