Celestino Vietti emerged fastest during an interrupted Moto2 FP3 at Portimao, as Marcel Schrotter stayed quickest overall courtesy of his Friday time.
Red flags were waved due to worsening weather and there were serious doubts of any improvements once the downpour had passed.
However, lap times began tumbling after the restart, setting up a frantic final ten minutes when most of the top 14 places for direct access to Qualifying 2 were decided.
Schrotter was the only rider not to set a lap time in FP3.
