The championship leader set an untouchable benchmark lap time of 1.27.296s during the practice session. His closest competitor was Marc Marquez, who finished 0.0594s behind him. Despite slicks being the favored tire choice after practice, Fabio Di Giannantonio had a tumble on his first hot lap, complicating his already scheduled shoulder surgery. Only the top three riders managed to clock lap times in the 1.27s bracket. Maverick Vinales secured the third qualifying position for the upcoming races, finishing ahead of established names like Mir and Quartararo. Aleix Espargaro, the departing Aprilia rider, struggled and will start in 20th position.
