Speed Up riders Fermin Aldeguer and Alonso Lopez both fell at the start of the session after being caught out by the damp track.

Aldeguer speared sideways when his rear tyre kicked out on the exit of turn 1 - sending him into an unprotected armco barrier - with Lopez falling at Turn 2. Both walked away although Aldeguer, whose helmet visor was ripped off, looked to be in some pain. Neither rider set a lap time.

Somkiat Chantra, Sam Lowes, Darryn Binder and Albert Arenas were among the others to fall during the session, which ended with conditions good enough for some riders to set their best laps of the weekend so far.
