Niccolo Antonelli has drawn first blood for the Moto3 class at Barcelona, the Italian putting in a fast lap at the end of the session to open a gap of three tenths of a second over Romano Fenati. The Sky VR46 rider had been the only rider to challenge Antonelli for top spot through the session, but Fenati had no answer for Antonelli's final run.
Enea Bastianini took third, half a second off the pace of Antonelli, and led a tight group consisting of Jakub Kornfeil, Nicolo Bulega, Brad Binder and Aron Canet. Conditions for the session were absolutely perfect, blue skies and pleasant temperatures, and promise to stay that way all weekend.
