- Álex Márquez (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) qualified in second on the grid, his seventh front row start this season. He will be aiming to win for the third time in 2017.
- Sandro Cortese (Dynavolt Intact GP) is in third place on the grid, his first front row start since the Spanish GP last year. He also equals the best qualifying result for Suter this year.
- Heading the second row is Mattia Pasini (Italtrans Racing Team). Pasini, Khairul Idham Pawi and Cortese have all won in the lightweight category at this track.
- Héctor Garzó, who replaces Xavi Vierge at Tech 3 Racing Team this weekend, will start from fifth on the grid in what is his first Grand Prix race. This is the best qualifying for the Mistral 610 Tech3 machine since Xavier Simeon qualified fourth at the German GP in 2012.
