Mattia Pasini (Italtrans Racing Team) took to the top spot for his first pole position since 2007, which he gained at the Australian GP in the 125cc class. He truly controlled the pace of qualifying, setting his fastest time on lap three of sixteen and never budging from provisional pole. Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Ajo) seemed to be the only one who could come close, but had to settle for second with championship leader Franco Morbidelli (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) rounding out the front row.
