The Catalonian weather had been playing with the paddock all morning, with a shower hitting the track before Moto3, the track drying towards the end of their session only for some more spits of rain to welcome the GP boys. *Only a handful of riders felt like going out on wet tyres, with most of the grid just chilling while the track got too dry for wets and too wet for slicks.

Marc Marquez only put in five laps late in the session to go top and post the only time in the 1:45s, taking Cal Crutchlow with him into second position. Andrea Dovizioso posted a few extra laps to go third, six tenths down on the leader and Dani Pedrosa made a late jump into fourth, another tenth down.
