Axel Bassani ran into early trouble at turn one as he ran through the gravel while team-mate Alex Lowes went quickest.
Joining Bassani in running off circuit was Andrea Iannone, who made a mistake further along the lap.
Lowes's time at the front was short lived as Toprak Razgatlioglu went top of the leaderboard on his first flying lap.
Ducati then began making a charge towards the top with Danilo Petrucci moving into second ahead of Alvaro Bautista.
However, neither rider could get close to Razgatlioglu who held an advantage of over half a second.
Turn one continued to catch riders out as Nicolo Bulega, Phillip Oettl and Iannone went wide.
Following a small improvement from Bautista which moved him ahead of Petrucci, Jonathan Rea jumped from eighth to second.
A brilliant lap from Remy Gardner then saw him replace Rea in P2, closing to within three tenths of Razgatlioglu.
