The Frenchman led a very tight peloton in which up to 18 riders finished separated by less than eight tenths. The boy from the Pramac team was just 38 thousandths ahead of Marco Bezzecchi, who is still on the rise and hopes to win the rookie of the year award this weekend.
The third fastest was a surprising Pol Espargaró, who was only half a tenth from the head and who was 87 thousandths ahead of Fabio Quartararo, the current champion and leader of the general points table.
Behind the Devil was Maverick Viñales (fifth), while Marc Márquez posted the sixth fastest lap, which was 6 hundredths faster than Aleix Espargaró (seventh).
Behind the Aprilia rider, Pecco Bagnaia (eighth) and Enea Bastianini (ninth) finished, while Jorge Martín closed the top ten, and the group that has provisionally gained access to the second qualifying screen.
Depending on the weather this Saturday allows these times to be lowered, in the first qualifying round illustrious figures will be cited such as Joan Mir (12th), who returns after missing the last four appointments as a result of an injury to his right ankle, and Jack Miller , the idol of the stands, who finished 13th, more than half a second behind Zarco.
