Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez was also hunting for improvements but finished just 0.097s slower for Liqui Moly Dynavolt intact GP - the whole session was close with the top 21 all withing a second of the the record.

Daniel Holgado, fresh from his Catalan victory was one of several riders to lead the way, and was still on top until he was toppled by Vietti, finishing an eventual third for Aspar as the top rookie on day one.

Jake Dixon was ahead when he fell from his Elf Marc VDS bike, returning after a spell in the pits to go quicker in fourth.
