After nearly all riders had their first flying laps canceled, Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team/Ducati) took the top spot. The Italian was quick in the early stages but eventually lost the position to Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia). He was later overtaken by Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati), but he quickly regained the lead.

With 45 minutes to go, there was another change in the front, with Bezzecchi returning to the top. In the first half of the session, the big surprise was Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini/Ducati) placing himself among the top five fastest riders. With 36 minutes remaining, Martín moved to the top of the timesheet and shortly after set the fastest lap of the day up to that point.

Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team/Ducati) closed in with half an hour left but then suffered a crash. The Italian was one of four riders to lap in the 1m45s, as did Miguel Oliveira (CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team/Aprilia) when he moved up to third shortly after. With 16 minutes left, a new leader emerged: Maverick Viñales (Aprilia). The Spanish rider was later passed by Bezzecchi.

Four minutes from the checkered flag, Martín dominated the competition with the first lap in the 1m44s, just before Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda) also overtook Bezzecchi to take second place. The six-time champion was later beaten by Espargaró.

Right at the end, Marini set the fastest time of all: 1m44.782s. With that, he was eight thousandths of a second faster than Martín. Espargaró finished third, with Márquez in fourth and Bezzecchi in fifth. Also securing direct access to the second qualifying were Viñales, Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati), Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha), Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac/Ducati), and Joan Mir (Repsol Honda). Di Giannantonio, in 11th, missed this goal by 0.074s.
