Championship points leader Jack Miller extended his lease at the top of the timesheet Friday at the Termas de Rio Hondo Circuit in Argentina. Miller's 1’50.020 was his best time of the weekend so far and left him a scant nine-hundredths of a second clear of Efren Vazquez in second.
Alex Marquez, another four-tenths back, managed third fastest at the new circuit. Isaac Viñales and Livio Loi joined them in the top five.
Miller, winner of the season's first two races, has led every session of the weekend with qualifying coming up later today.

Loi
Nice to see him at the front. He is still very young, and since the track is new to everybody, it's a bit of an equaliser.
If he could that result in the race, it would be awsome !
