The first free session saw Jorge Martín largely dominate, but his teammate Fabio Di Giannantonio finally dethroned him in the very last minutes. Their championship opponents, Arón Canet, Enea Bastianini and Marco Bezzecchi, were also at the forefront at the end of FP1.

Marco Bezzecchi (PruestlGP) then Tony Arbolino (Marinelli Snipers Team) then take the lead in the ranking. At the same time Livio Law (Reale Avintia Academy) is getting really hot.
