Cool, clear conditions greeted the lightweight class in the opening Free Practice session of the weekend, and it was Romano Fenati (Sterilgarda Max Racing Team) and another crasher Gabriel Rodrigo (Indonesian Racing Gresini Moto3) who rounded out the top five.
Lorenzo Fellon (SIC58 Squadra Corse) and Stefano Nepa (BOE Owlride) crashed unhurt too, with Jaume Masia (Red Bull KTM Ajo) suffering a huge highside at Turn 9. The Spaniard was thankfully back up on his feet after being helped to the side of the track, a big one for Masia, who was declared fit after a visit to the medical centre.
Nasty highside for @jaume_masia! ????
