The session had brought mixed results so far. While Di Giannantonio mostly topped this part of qualy, Bagnaia struggled at 10th place. On the other hand, Joan Mir was sitting in 2nd place with Quartararo being close behind him. It is worth mentioning that the top 2 riders are advancing to Q2.

The times were in a range of 1:40 to 1:38s. However, to add spicy drama, Di Giannantonio was under investigation for something, which the stewards hadn’t cleared. But Fabio Quartararo put in a flying lap and took the first place with a time of 1:37.906, being the only rider who dipped into the 1:37s. Aldeguer attempted a flying lap, which he started well, but it wasn’t enough for top 2, so he ended in 3rd place. Even Bagnaia, who was in 12th place, started the lap well with a flying 1st sector, but he was slower in the second and third. As he crossed the line, he only improved to 11th. And with the checkered flag out, Bagnaia was the first rider to finish, Fernandez improved to 5th with Oliveira to 6th.

The race stewards announced that Di Giannantonio will not undergo further investigation about the incident. And as the rest of the riders crossed the finish line, there weren’t any improvements, meaning that Fabio Quartararo and Fabio Di Giannantonio are moving on to Q2.
