A complicated day saw the Honda Team unable to show their speed as falls and rear tyre issues held back Marc Marquez and Pol Espargaro.

Weather gods were not on the side of the Honda Team as Saturday dawned, torrential rain soaking the 4.3 Km long circuit and sporadic showers making sure it stayed wet. No chance of a dry Free Practice 3 meant both Pol Espargaro and Marc Marquez would have to contend with Q1.
