As the riders head to Qualifying Arbolino will be looking to defend his top spot, but championship leader Acosta will be looking to set things straight after a cancelled lap in P2 halted his chances of going top. Equally, the Portuguese Grand Prix poleman Salac cannot be discounted as he currently sits in 2nd place in the combined practice times. Jake Dixon (Solunion GASGAS Aspar Team) and Somkiat Chantra also have shown a strong pace throughout practice, and with confirmed Q2 spots in 4th and 5th will be eager to taste glory.
