The Saturday morning Practice session saw MT Helmets - MSi stay on top, but this time with Sergio Garcia.
In Friday's Practice it was Ai Ogura who was the rider to beat. The Japanese rider finished top of both the Practice sessions throughout the day. However, there were only 14 automatic Qualifying Two spots available for the 14 quickest riders in Practice.
After his MotoGP-bound teammate dominated on Friday, Sergio Garcia took top spot on Saturday morning.
After a dreadful 2024 season, Filip Salac has found form and ended Saturday morning in second place. The Czech rider has apparently lost his ride for the 2025 season, so it is now job-searching time for Salac.
Tony Arbolino finished the Saturday morning session just behind his teammate in third place.
Despite dawdling riders getting in his way Aron Canet still got in a quick lap time and ended the session in fourth place.
A late fall for Ai Ogura resulted in a Red Flag being shown late on in the session. But the Japanese rider's lap time was good enough to finish in fifth.
Manuel Gonzalez ended Friday in the top three, but on Saturday morning has dropped back down the order into sixth.
After a terrible Friday, the real Joe Roberts arrived on Saturday morning. The American could not set a fast lap time in the two sessions on Friday but ended up getting into seventh in the last Practice session.
It has been a strong weekend for Celestino Vietti so far with a fifth-place finish on Friday and now an eighth-place finish on Saturday.
Rounding out the top ten was Darryn Binder and Jake Dixon in ninth and tenth places.
Completing the 14 riders who automatically get into the second Qualifying session are Alonso Lopez, Somkiat Chantra, Deniz Oncu and Marcos Ramirez.
