Moto2 riders had the advantage of having a completely dry track from the beginning, despite heavy clouds still hover on the horizon. Rins was the first to set a quick time with 2min09s190. Jonas Folger came in second and championship leader Thomas Luthi in third.
Lowes was the first to be able to challenge it and to establish 2min04s114 took front Kidneys. The Spaniard, however was quick to give the answer and, with time 2min08s850 returned to the tip. Meanwhile, the world champion Zarco progressed slowly, from eighth to fifth, behind Folger and Marcel Schrotter.
With ten minutes to go, the red flag was stirred because of an accident of Efren Vasquez. The Spaniard spent a long time being treated on the track, in the middle of the curve 13, which generated concern at all. The 29-year-old was taken to the medical center for a check.
The riders returned to the track with a lot of desire for the final ten minutes. Kidneys, for example, did its best to improve their own time without success. The big surprise was Zarco, who with the reset timer jumped to second place, two tenths behind the Spaniard. Lowes completed the front row in third.
Dominique Aegerter was another to be able to improve a lot and secured an excellent fourth position ahead of Luthi, Takaaki Nakagami and Folger. Simone Corsi was the eighth Franco Morbidelli the ninth and the tenth Sandro Cortese. Check here the full starting grid.
