After setting the pace early on, MV Agusta rider Niki Tuuli was displaced at the top by Aegerter who set the first sub 1m 41s lap of the session.

Tuuli remained the only rider within half a second of Aegerter’s top time until seven minutes left as Valentin Debise went quickest on a 1:40.656s.

Tuuli then regained top spot for the second time, however, the Finn’s time was immediately bettered by Aegerter once again.

There was late drama as Philipp Oettl crashed at turn five, moments after Luca Bernardi secured his above-mentioned maiden pole.
