With over thirty minutes left to run the Aspar rider set a time of 1m 58.511s, which would lead the way for the remaining time to the chequered flag.

Home rider Filip Salac came closest to the Colombian. The Czech rider saw his best effort fall just 0.018s short of P1 for American Racing as the number 12 bike continued his run of improved form.

There was no early success for championship leader Manuel Gonzalez who built into the session, rising late on, first from eleventh to sixth with a final push taking the Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP rider to third.

Daniel Holgado was fourth behind his team-mate with Senna Agius fifth on the second Dynavolt entry.

Alex Escrig, like Agius, lead briefly right at the start of the session on his way to sixth, the best of the non-Kalex riders for Forward.

Blu Cru Pramac Yamaha’s Izan Guevara was the quickest of the Boscoscuro riders in seventh, ahead of Collin Veijer in eighth for Red Bull KTM Ajo.

Ivan Ortola has a long lap penalty for race day for causing a crash, after clearing out Daniel Munoz in Hungary. The QJMotor rider began limiting the damage to his Brno weekend by heading straight to Q2 in ninth spot.

Rookie Jose Antonio Rueda could not quite match his top five placing from the morning, but did hang onto eighth despite a fall in the session for the race winner in the Moto3 class last year, from the second Red Bull KTM Ajo bike.

Another rookie Taiyo Furusato found great track position, locking in behind the bikes in front to pull his Idemitsu Honda Team Asia bike from 21st to seventh, before dropping back slightly to eleventh.

Zonta van den Goorbergh saw his Momoven Idrofoglia RW Racing bike shuffled out of the top 14, responding to move back into the Q2 places in 12th.

The final two people not needing a Q1 visit were American Racing rider Joe Roberts - the 2025 race winner moving up a place late on to split from Alberto Fernandez, the Blu Cru rider finishing 15th and just missing out - with Celestino Vietti also ahead after holding onto 14th despite struggles at turn 13 for the SpeedRS rider.

There was a red flag in the session for the 2025 polesitter at Brno, Barry Baltus, after his fall at turn 13. The Fantic Racing rider was transferred to the medical centre.

Mario Aji remains out of action. For the Czech round he continues to be replaced by ex-Moto3 rider Jacob Roulstone (25th).

Alonso Lopez was declared unfit for the second session after taking part in FP1.
