Brad Binder set a scorching lapa late in the session to take the top spot Saturday during FP3 at the Philip Island Circuit in Australia. Binder's 1’36.519 was the weekend's fastest Moto3 time and put the South African two-tenths of a second ahead of Jakub Kornfeil.
Championship points leader Danny Kent grabbed the third fastest time -- a performance that is duplicated in the race Sunday would secure the Moto3 championship for the British rider.
