There are slight changes to proceedings at Round 3 of the season as we head to Austin and the Circuit of the Americas

After tangoing in Termas it’s time to rodeo in Austin as the MotoGP™ paddock heads to the Circuit of the Americas for Round 3 of the 2019 season.

But what time does every session get underway at the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas? Well, as usual, Moto3™ kick us off on Friday morning at 09:00 local time (GMT-5) with FP1. However, unlike what we saw in Qatar and Argentina, the MotoGP™ riders will be out second instead of Moto2™ as the premier class get going in Austin at 09:55 on Friday, the intermediate class going through their FP1 paces at 10:55. MotoGP™ FP2 will begin at 14:10 local time.

Saturday morning follows the same time and procedure as Friday morning, with qualifying then getting underway at 12:35 local time with Moto3™ Q1. After the lightweight class grid has been decided, the premier class head out for FP4 at 13:30 before qualifying starts at 14:10, with the 15-minute battle for pole commencing at 14:35. Moto2™ qualifying closes out Saturday’s action at 15:05.

Then, it’s race day, as the schedule reverts to Moto3™, Moto2™ then MotoGP™. You’ll see the first bikes on track at 08:40 in the morning with Moto3™ rumbling out of pitlane, with MotoGP™ the last out at 09:40. Racing begins with Moto3™ at 11:00 local time, followed by Moto2™ at 12:20 and MotoGP™ at 14:00.
