In the “premier” category, Quartararo remains the fastest: 1’38″853. It’s his fifth pole position. This time, however, the Frenchman had to sweat as many riders improved their times at the end of the session. Miller took second place, just 37 milliseconds behind. The front row also includes Zarco, who was hindered on his final flying lap.
The second row is led by Oliveira’s KTM, while Morbidelli was quick throughout the session but had to settle for 5th place. Maverick Viรฑales clinched sixth position, followed by Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro and Brad Binder. Bagnaia was not very impactful, and he will start only from 9th position, right in front of the reigning world champion Mir.
