MotoGP Austria - Free Practice (3) Results.AUG-13-16.
Andrea Iannone replaced factory Ducati team-mate Andrea Dovizioso at the top of the timesheets during Saturday morning practice for the Austrian MotoGP.
World championship leader Marc Marquez made swift progress up to third behind the factory Ducatis, but then suffered a heavy fall after almost clipping team-mate Dani Pedrosa under braking for Turn 3.
Marquez briefly dislocated his left shoulder and headed to the Clinica Mobile for treatment after returning to the pits.
Jack Miller and Cal Crutchlow had less serious spills at the end of the session.
Winglets are offering a significant anti-wheelie advantage this weekend and Ducati had a new design on its factory machines his morning. Aleix Espargaro was back on track after fracturing a finger on Friday.
