There was an early drama for the Moto3 race as Kaito Toba from Honda Team Asia riding the number 27 machine had a crash at turn 14 on lap number two of the initial race.Red flags were waved around the track to identify that the race was stopped and the race would be restarted with only twelve laps. The green flags were waved, lights were off, and off they went for round 3 of the Moto3 World Championship.Aron Canet got the hole shot down towards the dreadful turn one of the circuit with Italian Romano Fenati behind him.Fenati seemed as aggressive as himself in his rookie year and Canet was trying to stick to his rhythm.
