Misano World Superbike, Italy - Free Practice Results (3)
Michael Rinaldi stays fastest during Free Practice 3 for the Misano World Superbike round, with team-mate Scott Redding rising to second for a home Ducati one-two.
The session was red-flagged with six minutes to go due to an accident for Eugene Laverty. The Irishman, described as 'conscious', fell in the Turn 10 area (leading on to the back straight) and has been taken to the Medical Centre for further checks. TV images of the aftermath showed Laverty and his bike had crossed the gravel trap and hit the tyre wall.
Pata Yamaha's Toprak Razgatlioglu was a fraction slower than Redding to be the fastest non-Ducati, with Alex Lowes edging out Jonathan Jonathan Rea to be top Kawasaki...
