Free Practice 3 in the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship was topped by Iker Lecuona (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) at the TT Circuit Assen. It was the final 20 minutes for teams and riders to prepare for the Tissot Superpole session in around an hour’s time in the Pirelli Dutch Round. Lecuona had a 0.259s advantage over Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) in P2 and 0.354s over Alvaro Bautista (Barni Spark Racing Team) in P3. The session was red flagged just over halfway through the session following a crash for Somkiat Chantra (Honda HRC) on the exit of Turn 5. The Thai rider was taken to the medical centre for a check-up following the incident. He was reviewed and ruled unfit for Saturday’s action with a low back contusion, contusions in his thigh muscles and hematoma; he will be reviewed before Sunday’s Warm Up session.
