2016 Moto3™ Rookie of the Year Joan Mir (Leopard Racing) took the first LCQ victory, ensuring his graduation as class rival Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing Moto3) had a tougher evening and missed the cut. LCQ 2 went to Moto2™ rider Xavier Simeon, who joined fellow Superprestigio class entrants Marc and Alex Marquez, Mir, Toni Elias, Ricky Cardus, Xavi Vierge (Tech 3 Racing) and Marcel Schrotter (Dynavolt Intact GP) in the Superprestigio finals.
