Stopwatch
Great lap from Morbidelli. He's gone top with a 1m39.727s, just hours after a massive crash in FP3 this morning.
Only fourth from Miller with a 1m40.537s.
Crash
Iannone's RS-GP has stopped on the pit exit road.
Despite leading the times, Nakagami signalled to his LCR crew he was lacking some stability on the rear of his Honda.
Aprilia has gotten that RS-GP restarted and Iannone is away. Miller starts a flying lap.
Iannone has stalled his bike exiting his garage.
Miller has returned to the circuit, while the rest have come back to pitlane.
Nakagami and Bagnaia are your current top 2, with Espargaro, Miller, Zarco, Morbidelli, Syahrin, Rabat, Oliveira, Abraham, Guintoli, Iannone and Smith following.
Miller has returned to his Pramac box. Replay of his crash reveals the textbook Turn 5 front-end spill.
Mir was on a flyer on the Suzuki, but is only seventh having wheelied all the way from the last corner to the line. Not the ideal way to exit that corner!
Stopwatch
Not for long, though, as Nakagami takes over with a 1m40.372s.
Stopwatch
Espargaro goes fastest with a 1m40.510s.
He has rejoined, and will be able to get back to his box for his second bike.

Two additional names on the entry list this weekend. Aprilia test rider Bradley Smith is making his third appearance of the season, while Suzuki's test rider Sylvain Guintoli is back in action on the GSX-RR.
Information
Before we get to the battle for pole, we have the small matter of sorting grid slots 13-24.
Going through Q1 is:
Miller, Nakagami, Morbidelli, Mir, A.Espargaro, Iannone, Bagnaia, Abraham, Zarco, Rabat, Smith, Oliveira, Guintoli, Syahrin.

Fourth practice has just concluded, with Friday pacesetter Fabio Quartararo top again with a 1m40.235s from Alex Rins and Maverick Vinales.
I wager both Quartararo and Rins will feature heavily in the battle for pole later on.
