As Friday’s Moto3 Tissot Australian Grand Prix action was wrapped up, Jack Miller was ahead of the pack in FP2 followed by Efren Vazquez and Juanfran Guevara also in the top three, but Danny Kent was Friday’s fastest rider overall.

Miller’s best time in the afternoon was 1m37.033 putting him 0.032s ahead of Vazquez in the second practice, but Red Bull Husqvarna Ajo rider Kent was top of the combined time sheets thanks to a 1m36.906 from FP1.

Miller (Red Bull KTM Ajo) ended the day second quickest overall followed by Vazquez (SaxoPrint-RTG), Guevara (Mapfre Aspar Team Moto3) and Brad Binder (Ambrogio Racing) in the top five.

“We can be really happy with the work done today,” Miller said. “It has been a very productive day. We changed different things with our KTM and I think we are going in the right direction.

“In the afternoon, when it was windier and we were using new tyres, we were able to go faster and set a good time. We are where we should be, but we still have to work hard to be ready for the race. Improvements can still be made with myself and the bike.”

Alex Marquez (Estrella Galicia 0,0), Jakub Kornfeil (Calvo Team), Niklas Ajo (Avant Tecno Husqvarna Ajo), Alex Rins (Estrella Galicia 0,0) and Isaac Viñales (Calvo Team) all featured in Friday’s top ten on the combined timesheet.

John McPhee (Saxoprint RTG) and Matteo Ferrari (San Carlo Team Italia) both had early highsides in FP2 and Grabriel Ramos (Kiefer Racing) and Alexis Masbou (Ongetta-Rivacold) both suffered crashes mid session.

Jules Danilo (Ambrogio Racing) also fell, along with Karel Hanika (Red Bull KTM Ajo) ending their sessions early. Viñales fell on the final lap.

First of the wildcards was Remy Gardner (Team Laglisse Calvo KTM) in 25th position with a 1m38.341, while Olly Simpson rode his private KTM to 32nd with a respectable 1m39.056 – both returning from Europe especially for their home GP debuts.
