Agius finished second ahead of his home race, just 0.018s slower for Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP.

Joe Roberts improved to 11th on the second American Racing bike to guarantee his Q2 place, ahead of Mario Aji, who was twelfth quickest on the second Idemitsu entry.

The remaining two places to go directly to the second qualifying session went to Barry Baltus in 13th for Fantic Racing and Ayumu Sasaki, who was 14th despite a fall for Momoven Idrofoglia RW Racing, with Luca Lunetta just missing out on 15th despite a late personal best for SpeedRS.
