For once, it's Maverick Vinales who rushes ahead Franco Morbidelli at the opening of the track, while fabio quartararo as usual, lets everyone go in front of him, except Aleix Espargaro which stalls.

If everyone logically chose a soft rear tire, we see that the Yamaha Factory opted for a medium front instead of the hard one.

Alex Rins, just drafted, stays in his box to save a tire.

fabio quartararo sets the pace in 1'55.990 his first flying lap driving his wheel Aleix I will espargaro, allowing the Aprilia rider to be in 2nd position ahead of his brother!

At mid-session, we therefore fabio quartararo who is before Aleix Espargaró, Pol Espargaró, Maverick Vinales, Franco Morbidelli, Valentino Rossi, Cal Crutchlow, Danilo Petrucci, Johann Zarco, Joan Mir, Brad Binder and Alex Rins who barely gets going.

Maverick Vinales improves his own time and joins the provisional first line, classified between the two brothers from Granollers.

On resumption, alex rins is positioned in sixth position while the recovery, Aleix I will espargaro took the wheel again fabio quartararo : enough to destabilize the French pilot?

Note that Brad Binder then use a medium rear tire…

Cal Crutchlow minor fall at turn #9 when Johann zarco simply takes provisional pole position in 1'55.687!

By trying to do better, fabio quartararo makes a minor mistake.

We have just experienced a historic qualification for French motorcycle sport, because it is the first time that two French people are in the first two places in a Grand Prix qualification in the premier category!
