First nineteen riders were in one second on Friday.

Karel Abraham said after Friday's practice:
"The heat was exhausting. I have never seen something like that here and that is even I ride for the sixth time here. Eleventh best time for begining is not bad, but it could be even better. Unfortunately, I had enough to worry about the front part of the motorcycle, because it was slipping a lot and I had to control myself to not to fall down several times. We're going to change the settings and we will see as this proves on Saturday. Otherwise, I wait for the local short circuit not only very challenging race, but also very difficult qualification because it will be hard to ride a good performance in the field of forty riders. "
