The second line of grill will be built by Marc Marquez, the current world champion Jorge Lorenzo and Aleix Espargaró, with the third occupied with Dani Pedrosa, Bradley Smith and Danilo Petrucci.

The session started with Jorge Lorenzo by pulling out strong in search of a first quick lap, but was alerted from the slate that Iannone was rolling in its wake.

The Ducati was first with a time of 1’46.727 thanks to its strategy. Second, it was Marquez to 32 mils and third Lorenzo 389. Shortly after Viñales was second place at 23 thousandths of Iannone while Rossi was eighth. Interestingly, Iannone was again done with the wake of Lawrence to mark a new lap quickly and leave the reference in 1’46.607.

At the last minute Lorenzo came out looking their best time and so did Rossi. The italianio was done with the pole position for the interim with 1’46.504 that would end up being definitive. Viñales is also what I would try, but would eventually be the second.
