The third Ducati rider inside the top five was Alvaro Bautista as he ended the session in fourth, with Danilo Petrucci ending up as the fourth Ducati in the top five, as he was in fifth.

Alex Lowes was back inside the top ten in the afternoon and was the top Bimota rider as he ended the day in seventh.
Despite a disappointing first five rounds of the season, Dominique Aegerter appears to be back on form at Misano as he ended the day in eighth.
The Team Pata GoEleven Ducati rider of Andrea Iannone, was able to slip inside the top ten as he finished in ninth despite just returning from injury.
Completing the top ten was the final bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team rider of Axel Bassani.
