Meskipun cuaca mendung dan dingin dengan potensi hujan, lintasan tetap kering untuk para pembalap kelas premier. Pedro Acosta memimpin lima menit pertama dengan waktu 1:32,214 dan Franco Morbidelli jatuh di tikungan 1. Marco Bezzecchi kemudian merebut posisi pertama dengan waktu 1:29,207 sementara Francesco Bagnaia tampak kesal setelah insiden di lintasan. Bagnaia kembali ke pit setelah 10 menit dan Bezzecchi mencatatkan waktu tercepat 1:28,667, unggul 0,271 detik dari Alex Marquez. Brad Binder mengambil alih posisi teratas di menit ke-18, diikuti oleh Fabio Quartararo yang naik ke P3.
Tensions rise as Bagnaia expresses frustration with his bike’s performance to his crew. Meanwhile, other manufacturers show progress with all placing their representatives in the top 10. KTM positions Pedro Acosta in second and Brad Binder in fifth, while Johann Zarco and Joan Mir secure third and eighth place, respectively. Jack Miller steals the top spot from Alex Marquez in the last second, with Pedro Acosta dropping to third. Other notable positions include Fermin Aldeguer, Fabio Quartararo, Marco Bezzecchi, Bagnaia, Zarco, Di Giannantonio, and Binder closing the top 10.
In the final minutes, Bagnaia makes significant progress to sixth place, trailing 0.373 seconds behind Alex Marquez. However, all riders are forced to leave their garages as an incident involving Joan Mir’s smoking bike leads to the end of his session. As the sun shines again, tempers flare when Miguel Oliveira cuts Alex Marquez’s line, causing the Gresini rider to express his frustration. The incident is under investigation by the stewards. Eventually, in the last moments, Jack Miller takes the lead with a time of 1:28,281, with Pedro Acosta in third and the rest of the top 10 positions filled by other riders.
