2012 Misano Moto3 FP3 Result: Folger Dominates Damp Session
Submitted by David Emmett on Sat, 2012-09-15 08:19
The weather is still the main topic of conversation at Misano, the Moto3 riders being sent out first to test the track, as always. Jonas Folger dominated the final session of free practice, fastest in all conditions as the track slowly started to dry. Sandro Cortese closed the gap towards the end, cutting his deficit to fellow German Folger to half a second, while Miguel Oliveira took 3rd. The sun is starting to break through the clouds now, though, and so the rest of practice should take place under dry conditions.
