Bagnaia dominated the hour-long afternoon session with a 1m44.938s, but after an investigation by the FIM stewards for blocking Alex Marquez on a flying lap, he has been given a three-place grid penalty.
Tech3 GasGas rookie Pedro Acosta recovered to third after a fast crash at Turn 13 halfway through the session, while Marc Marquez secured direct passage into Q2 for the first time since the Spanish GP.
