Suzuki dominated third free practice at Silverstone; problem for Garcia Dols

Japanese people Tatsuki Suzuki (Honda) set the standard in the Moto3 category by being the fastest in computing the three free practice sessions of the British Grand Prix at the Silverstone circuit, where the world leader, Sergio García Dols (GasGas), was forced to go through the first classification.

Turkish Deniz Öncü (KTM) was one of the first to lower his personal best climbing from fourteenth place where he finished the first day to fifth, in the first change, although he was still ahead of almost full third session , so the changes may be many, but its record is already one of the fastest in the category.

Gradually, the other drivers “had fun” and the positions on the time table kept changing, although a series of significant events could be seen, the first of which was the world leader, Sergio García Dols (GasGas) could not find “his place” on the British tracknor one of his rivals for the championship, the Italian Dennis Foggia (Honda).

Neither García Dols, who fell to the twenty-fourth position, nor Foggia, who was sixteenth for a long time, seemed uncomfortable. on the Silverstone track, while the “local” John McPhee (Husqvarna), without improving his record from the first day, kept the first position with a tenth and a half seconds to his teammate, the Japanese Ayumu Sasaki

Sasaki was by far the fastest in the third free session, the last one to qualify for a pass in the second direct classification, when he lapped in 2:11.097, suggesting that in the final laps of the session some pilot they have hands to shoot at 2:10.

But the strategy of most teams was to rush in time to get back on track to try a single flying lap, while the only one to opt for another strategy was the world leader Sergio García Dols, who stayed on the track for alone, looking to ride at a good speed and manage, at least, to enter the second direct classification.

With a little more than two and a half minutes of practice ahead of them, almost all drivers took to the track, with Sergio García Dols achieving a 2:11.959 first and a 2:11.935.which allowed him to gain some positions, only five -nineteen-, which still did not give him access to the second classification, although in his favor the resounding failure of several pilots, John McPhee, Ayumu Sasaki, Izan Guevara or Scott Ogden, who came out in such a tight time, so tight, that they couldn’t even attempt a fast lap.

In the end, he was almost a thousandth of a second short of the second straight classification Sergio García Dols, who stopped the clock in 2:11.691, although as all pilots entered under the checkered flag it was -he was relegated from fifteenth to eighteenth. position, while the Japanese Tatsuki Suzuki (Honda) achieved the best time, ahead of Öncü and with McPhee -third-, Guevara -twelfth-, David Muñoz -nineteenth- and Jaume Masiá -twentieth-, as the only rider that They have not improved their hours from the first day.

In addition to Suzuki, Öncü and McPhee, Daniel Holgado (KTM), Andrea Migno entered the second classificationAyumu Sasaki, Diogo Moreira, Dennis Foggia, Stefano Nepa, Kaito Toba, Ryusei Yamanaka, Izan Guevara, Lorenzo Fello and Iván Ortolá.
