Hampir selama sesi latihan berlangsung, Pedrosa mampu mendominasi. Dengan torehan waktu terbaiknya 2 menit 0.454 detik mengukuhkan dirinya menjadi rider tercepat, disusul Jorge Lorenzo dengan selisih 0.165 detik.
Sang juara dunia Marc Marquez yang terus mempertajam catatan waktunya di menit-menit akhir jelang sesi latihan usai, sukses merebut posisi ketiga yang sebelumnya di tempati oleh Stefan Bradl.
Sesi latihan kali ini sempat terhenti karena ada insiden yang menimpa pembalap andalan tim Monster Yamaha Tech 3, Pol Espargaro. Motor yang ditunggangi Pol mengalami masalah teknis sehingga tergelincir saat melibas tikungan. Akibatnya Pol jungkir balik mencium aspal dan motor tunggangannya pun terbakar, Pol segera di tandu keluar lintasan karena kemungkinan mengalami cedera pada kakinya. Meski demikian, Pol tetap mampu mencatatkan waktu 2 menit 1.885 detik dan menempatkannya di posisi ke-10.(otosport.co.id)
