Bulega topped the session in the opening stages after finishing ninth in FP1, with the Italian displacing Championship leader Jorge Martin (Del Conca Gresini Moto3) for third at the end of the FP2 session – the Spaniard setting his lap times on his own to finish fourth on the combined timesheets. Niccolo Antonelli (SIC58 Squadra Corse) rounds out the top five on Friday after finishing the morning session outside the top 20, with Aron Canet (Estrella Galicia 0,0) stringing a strong last run together to claw himself up the combined timesheets to fifth – the Spaniard still suffering from the five-rider Misano crash.
