On Friday afternoon Jose Antonio Rueda set the fastest lap time and a new Moto3 Lap Record. However, Saturday morning always gives the Moto3 riders another attempt at getting into the top 14 for a guaranteed spot in the second Qualifying session.

It was Joel Kelso who ended up taking the top spot heading into Qualifying. The Australian had a small crash towards the end of the session, but straight after set blisteringly fast lap times and secured first place.
