Bagnaia quickest with a new all-time lap record during FP3, despite a late fall, at the second of the back-to-back Misano MotoGP events.

Team-mate Miller (Pramac Ducati), Espargaro (KTM) and Oliveira (KTM) also fell during the session.

The top ten riders (combined times) now receive direct access to the second and final part of qualifying meaning the likes of Miller and Dovizioso must take part in Qualifying 1.

Stefan Bradl, who was replacing injured reigning world champion Marc Marquez, has withdrawn from the remainder of the weekend due to recent surgery for nerve problems in his hand.

Cal Crutchlow was declared unfit for both Misano rounds following arm pump surgery.
