If the Moto2 lap record was broken at the Jerez test, the Moto3 pole record was absolutely destroyed, with 15 riders circulating below Gabriel Rodrigo's best pole time of 1'45.745 from 2019. Ai Ogura ended the test as fastest overall, over a second under the lap time of Rodrigo, while Petronas Sprinta's John McPhee was just five hundredths slower than the Honda Team Asia rider.
Current pole record holder Gabriel Rodrigo finished the day and the test in third, eight tenths under his own lap record, and just ahead of Tatsuki Suzuki and Sergio Garcia. Raul Fernandez was the first of the KTM riders, the Red Bull KTM Ajo rider behind a fleet of Hondas.
The Moto2 and Moto3 riders now pack up and head to the desert. They face a final test next weekend, before the 2020 season opener on 8th March.
