After sticking with the hard rear on Friday afternoon, Marc Marquez (and team-mate Dani Pedrosa) ran the medium this morning and set the best lap of the weekend so far.

Yamaha riders Jorge Lorenzo, Bradley Smith and Pol Espargaro were among those not to improve this morning.

Open class leader Loris Baz is undergoing shoulder and neck checks after falling heavily on his first flying lap. Maverick Vinales and Jack Miller also later fell at the same Turn 2 left hander.

The top ten riders after FP3 (combined times) receive direct access to the second and final part of this afternoon's qualifying session.

Andrea Iannone re-dislocated his left shoulder in training, Nicky Hayden broke recently broke his right thumb on a minimoto bike, Toni Elias is replacing Claudio Corti at Forward Racing...
