Having gone without a pole since the 2018 Argentine GP when he took top honours on his Pramac Ducati in similarly changeable conditions, the Australian beat teammate Francesco Bagnaia – who is carrying a three-place penalty - by 0.015 seconds at Misano.
Spots of rain began to fall around the back of the Misano circuit in the preceding FP4 session, but conditions on track were still good enough for slicks when Q1 got underway.
