With temperatures rising throughout the final practice session for the intermediate class, improvements on the timesheets came early on, but there were a few personal bests in the final shootout as well. Jorge Martin set up camp at the top of the combined standings on his third lap and did not budge for the remainder of FP3. Sam Lowes came close to the lead, only one hundredth of a second behind the Spaniard, the duo one step ahead of Lorenzo Baldassarri and Edgar Pons.
Tetsuta Nagashima managed to post a time worth fifth place early on but then suffered a low speed high side at turn 6 only ten minutes into the session and missed the rest of FP3 as he was taken to the medical centre for checks. Marco Bezzecchi was one of the few people who did not improve on his top Friday time but he was safely inside the top six overall.
Local favourite Marcos Ramirez finally found some speed to climb into sixth position in the session and seventh overall, only three tenths off the leader, with Aron Canet and Luca Marini mere hundredths of a second behind. Jorge Navarro was another rider who failed to go any faster than on Friday but held onto a top ten position overall, with the final tickets to Q2 going to Tom Luthi, Nicolo Bulega, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Remy Gardner.
