Following topping each FP2 and FP3, Bautista looked like the rider to beat prior to Toprak Razgatlioglu broke the official lap record.
Razgatlioglu’s time was more than two tenths clear of Bautista prior to Danilo Petrucci split the best two riders in the championship.
Displaying his most effective type because moving to Superbikes, Petrucci managed to turn on the qualifying tyre, not for the very first time this weekend, which had previously been an concern for the former MotoGP rider.
Slower than Razgatlioglu in the very first two sectors, Bautista then made a brilliant third and fourth sector in order to dethrone the Yamaha rider.
