Silverstone MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo tops FP3 with late flying lap

Marquez had been narrowly ahead going into the closing minutes, but Friday pacesetter Lorenzo produced a 2m01.429s lap on his Yamaha to beat the Honda by 0.459 seconds.

Andrea Dovizioso put Ducati in a close third on his last run, within 0.081s of Marquez and just ahead of the second Honda of Dani Pedrosa.

Valentino Rossi, who admitted after Friday practice that he had yet to fully master his set-up for this weekend, was again slightly off the pace and ended the session in seventh.

It was another very impressive morning for the local riders. Scott Redding thrust his Marc VDS Honda up to fifth late on, just ahead of Bradley Smith's Tech 3 Yamaha, while Cal Crutchlow recovered from a disappointing second practice to go eighth for LCR Honda.

Pol Espargaro and Andrea Iannone completed the top 10 riders going straight through to Q2.

Both Suzukis will have to start off in the first qualifying segment, Maverick Vinales and Aleix Espargaro - who had a crash at Farm - both knocked out of the Q2 places when the likes of Redding surged forward on the last laps.
