Frenchman Johan Zarco has maintained his strong Silverstone form and topped the timesheets after the third Moto2 free practice session. He finished a mere thousandth of a second ahead of home-town hero Scott Redding. Redding lead for the vast majority of proceedings and looked in fine form aboard his Union Jack emblazoned Kalex machine. Takaaki Nakagami took third position ahead of Thomas Luthi and Esteve Rabat.
Another crowd favorite in Danny Kent showed excellent promise and improvement on his early season form to finish in sixth place ahead of Belgian rider Xavier Simeon, Pol Espargaro, previous race winner Mika Kallio and Nico Terol, who completed the top ten.
