Philipp Oettl continued his impressive pace from this morning to lead the majority of the session before coming under late pressure from series leader Aegerter.
The Swiss rider was on course to go top with five minutes remaining after posting three red sectors, however, traffic heading into the Jorge Lorenzo corner (final corner) led to Aegerter losing all his advantage.
Aegerter did eventually get the better of his former Moto2 competitor on his next lap, while title rival Steven Odendaal was third quickest.
Free Practice One
After missing last weekend’s Catalan WorldSSP round due to a schedule clash with MotoE, championship leader Dominique Aegerter was back in action for Ten Kate Yamaha, while five-time series champion Kenan Sofuoglu made a sensational return to racing for one day only with Puccetti Kawasaki.
Sofuoglu’s return with Puccetti is to celebrate the recent announcement that more models will be added to the list of homologated motorcycles for the championship in 2022.
On-track, Philipp Oettl was the early pace setter from Aegerter and Randy Krummenacher. However, winner last time out Manuel Gonzalez then went fastest with five minutes left, while Federico Caricasulo crashed.
Finnish rider Niki Tuuli went third overall before making that P2 on his very next effort before Oettl then set a stunning 1:42.249s to go over four tenths quicker than Gonzalez.
