Austrian MotoGP - Free Practice (3) Results

Marquez back on top during MotoGP Free Practice 3 at a sunny Red Bull Ring in Austria.

The top ten riders on combined times will now receive direct access to the second and final part of qualifying, meaning Crutchlow will take part in Qualifying 1.

Ducati has won all three previous races at the Red Bull Ring since the circuit returned to the MotoGP calendar in 2016, and it is the only track on the current calendar where Marquez has not yet won.

Joan Mir has withdrawn from the event to continue his recovery from Monday's post-race fall at the Brno test. Jorge Lorenzo is again absent after fractures to his vertebrae at Assen and replaced by HRC test and wild-card rider Bradl.
