FP3 at Estoril, his late 1m34.740s putting him 0.083 seconds ahead of Nicolo Bulega, who led most of the session but ended up second.<\/p>\n<p>Alberto Surra was again the rider behind Bulega, 0.041 seconds back in third, while Miguel Oliveira was the final rider to lap in the 1m34s.<\/p>\n<p>Axel Bassani completed the top-five ahead of Iker Lecuona who rounded out the top-six.<\/p>\n<p>Yari Montella pulled off a ridiculous save at turn one after losing the front down there with six or so minutes to go, ultimately winding up seventh-fastest.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div
