Jake Dixon leads Saturday morning's Free Practice 3 for the Americas Moto2 Grand Prix after rookie Fermin Aldeguer is among those to lose their best flying lap (which would have put him fastest) due to yellow flags.

The top 14 riders after FP3 (combined times) receive direct access to the second and final part of qualifying, with Sam Lowes hanging on to the final spot despite a late fall at Turn 16.

Jorge Navarro then appeared to fall in the same place, whilst marshals were still retrieving Lowes' bike, and could thus face a similar (Long-Lap) punishment to Pedro Acosta in Argentina.

Update: Navarro now confirmed with a long-lap penalty for Sunday's race.

Acosta and Somkiat Chantra were also among the fallers in today's FP3.
