Splitting the two Aprilias on the timesheet were the two Ducatis out of Gresini Racing MotoGP™ and Team Suzuki Ecstar’s Alex Rins. Enea Bastianini, who will be looking to make up ground from 14th on the grid when lights go out, was just 0.006 seconds off the pace having set a 1:40.141, while Fabio Di Giannantonio clocked a 1:40.248 and Rins a 1:40.361. There was good news out of LCR Honda Castrol as Alex Marquez, who missed Q1 after a nasty FP4 crash, was declared fit and set a 1:40.698 which was good enough for 11th-fastest in the Warm Up. Ducati test rider Michele Pirro (Aruba.it Racing) tucked the front of his Desmosedici at Turn 2 but he walked away and would be classified 22nd on the timesheet.
