Portimao Moto2 Test results - Day 3, Sunday (FINAL)
Pedro Acosta heads the combined timesheets as Official Moto2 pre-season testing comes to a close at Portimao.
The Red Bull KTM Ajo rider set a test best of 1m 41.907s in the opening Sunday session, with Boscoscuro's Fermin Aldeguer just 0.070s behind and the only other rider to break the 1m 42s barrier.
After being outpaced by Aron Canet on day one, Acosta was quickest on day two, then remained on top for two of the three Sunday sessions. Marc VDS riders Tony Arbolino and Sam Lowes topped Session 3, when only 14 riders set a time.
Track action took place between 9:30am and 5:30pm, from Friday to Sunday, with three sessions per day.
Aron Canet was quickest on day one, with Acosta then cutting the best lap down to a 1m 42.234s on day two.
Reigning title runner-up Ai Ogura was absent after injuring his hand in a motocross training accident and is in doubt for the season-opener, at the same circuit, next weekend.
