Saturday's intermittent rain left the reigning world champion's provisional pole time unchallenged.

The Aspar Aprilia rider thus kept his 0.718secs advantage over Nicolas Terol, with Andrea Iannone and Bradley Smith completing an all-Aprilia front row.

World Championship leader Mike di Meglio will start from fifth position.
