MotoGP: Miller leads Portugal’s Oliveira after an FP3 thriller
Jack Miller (Shown Above) looks like he’s going to take some beating ahead of the final qualifying session 2020. The Australian is top of the combined Free Practice standings at the Grande Premio MEO de Portugal thanks to a scintillating 1:39.205 in FP3, home hero Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Tech3) is chasing Miller hard in P2 though to finish 0.125 seconds away. Alex Rins (Team Suzuki Ecstar) produced the goods but teammate and World Champion Joan Mir missed out on a top 10, as did Valencia GP winner Franco Morbidelli (Petronas Yamaha SRT).
