The Italian, who bounced back from a monster crash in FP3 earlier in the day, will be joined in the fight for pole position by premier class rookie Joan Mir, after the Suzuki Ecstar rider moved ahead of fellow freshman Francesco Bagnaia (Pramac Racing) in the closing stages.
Bagnaia’s Pramac Racing teammate, Jack Miller, also missed out with a crash halfway through at Turn 5 not helping the Australian’s push for a top two place.
