Jonas Folger's switch to the Aspar team is paying off. After a podium at Indianapolis, the young German topped the timesheets in the first session of free practice for the Moto3 class at Brno, and by some margin. Miguel Oliveira followed, over a third of a second behind, and just ahead of the two title rivals, Sandro Cortese quicker than Maverick Vinales. Danny Kent followed in fifth, just ahead of Alex Rins.
