Last Moto2 Q1 of the season gave emotion until last second with the riders who fought for the 4 spots to go into Q2 in the usual close session of the intermediate class. Marcel Schrotter snatched Q1 leadership just in the final stages of the qualifying, with the German who did a lap in 1.34.873 to be faster than everyone else joining Q2 alongside his teammate Tom Luthi.

A superb Jake Dixon took Q2, a really good result considering how much he struggled during the whole season, with Angel Nieto Team rider who was able to ride under the 1.35 and being just 45 thousandths of a second slower than Q1 leader. Enea Bastianini was just behind, with the Italian who snatched a late 3rd place being the last rider going under the 1.34. Also Nicolò Bulega, who led the session for a while, got a spot into Q2, the last one, despite a crash.
