Not too many surprises in Q1 Moto2 session, if we consider that Brad Binder and KTM are struggling a lot since the start of the season; 2016 Moto3 World Champion ended in 5^th the first session of qualifying and was then out of Q2 for just 0.064s. Things went better for his teammate Jorge Martin, who ended in 2^nd just behind Bo Bendsneyder, while Iker Lecuona finished 3^rd and Nicolò Bulega secured the last spot to get the access at the last qualifying session.

No one then was able to snatch pole position from Augusto Fernandez who got the best lap in a qualifying session for the first time in his career! The Spaniard in his fourth attempt did a great lap and every details was crucial; Alex Marquez, who is 6^th, has just one tenth of a second of gap!!
