It was at 8:20 a.m. instead of the usual 9 a.m. that the warm-up began this Sunday due to the presence of a MotoE race this Sunday morning. The day before Tatsuki Suzuki of the Squadra Corse SIC58 won a magnificent pole position on the Misano Marco Simoncelli circuit at the “GP di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini”, where Aron Canet (Sterilgarda Max Racing Team) ranked second ahead Tony Arbolino (Snipers VNE) on the first line.

There was also a fall on the first day for a Öncü, but this time it's the twin brother Sea Defence who replaced Dog, who was sidelined by a broken collarbone during his crash in FP1.
As the pilots set off, the track was 18° for air and 17° for track. Sergio Garcia and his teammate Lopez, from the Estrella Galicia 0,0 team, were the first to set off. Romano Fenati was withdrawn due to his fractured scaphoid during Q1.
At the start of the session, the fastest initially was Sasaki in 1'43.438, but Arbolino improved to 1'43.438. They then preceded Arenas, Toba, McPhee and Dalla Porta.
Then the leader of the provisional World Championship ranking Lorenzo Dalla Porta took the lead in 1'43.367 before John McPhee dislodged him in 1'43.319.
Arenas improved to 1'43.216, ahead of Arbolino and McPhee. Then Toba took command in 1'43.205. Meikon Kawakami, driver entered as a wildcard, fell at the end of the session without seriousness in Turn 10.
