Marc Márquez set the fourth best time in FP3 and was fastest in FP4, despite suffering a crash at the end of the session.
In Q2, the Repsol Honda rider went with a two-stop strategy and used three sets of tyres, fighting for the front row until his final hot lap. Márquez will take off from fifth, thanks to his 1:32.742 top lap from his first run.
Jorge Lorenzo continued to lower his lap times from Friday, and in Q1 he clocked a 1:33.777 that put him 18th on the grid.

It wasn’t the best Qualifying for us, unfortunately I made a mistake on the second tyre so I had to finish the run early. We start from the second row tomorrow so it is not a terrible day and we are aiming to fight for victory.
Our goal is the championship and that is what we are focused on. I felt really good in FP4 aside from the small crash so I am quite confident in our race pace. In the last lap I was pushing at 100% for a fast time but came across Rossi and also ran wide out of the limit.

For us it was a so-so day, I think after the Friday we had I was expecting to close the gap to the front a little more but we were able to make another step in Qualifying. Still we need to make another step, but we already have some ideas for Warm Up.
For the race we are aiming to finish as close as possible to the winner and I think we can make some progress forward.
