There was a flurry of fast laps in the closing stages of the session which decided the order. An incredible lap came from Alex Marquez to secure the top spot, whilst the two Repsol Honda riders Marc Marquez and Joan Mir circulated together running a solid pace, with Joan Mir really getting to grips with the Honda machine to bag P2 in Practice 1. The two Mooney VR46 Racing Team riders Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi also pushed hard to take 3rd and 4th respectively.
