His time held up to the first position until the very end, when he was surpassed by two Fons Nieto.

After the free practice Karel Abraham said:

I am sorry for the fall, but I admit that I do not know why it happened. It came unexpectedly, when I went in a group and virtually were not hurry. We have to just find out. I managed to ride a nice time, but we have to wait for tomorrow, and especially the day after tomorrow. I was not very happy with a motorcycle on Friday and I passed only ten laps. Likewise top speed is not good. So we have to look carefully at the telemetry. We have enough work now. "
