Pole position yang diraih merupakan yang pertama bagi Zarco. Pebalap kelahiran Cannes 26 tahun lalu itu musim lalu masih berlaga di ajang Moto2.
Menempati posisi dua start dalam balapan nanti, sesuai hasil kualifikasi, adalah pebalap Repsol Honda Marc Marquez. Posisi tiga ditempati pebalap tim Octo Pramac Danilo Petrucci, sedangkan posisi empat menjadi milik pebalap Yamaha Valentino ‘The Doctor’ Rossi.
Rekan setim Petrucci, Scott Redding, masih bisa mencatatkan waktu terbaik kelima meski sempat terjatuh dalam kualifikasi. Sedangkan rekan setim Zarco, Jonas Folger, yang juga pebalap rookie MotoGP akan start dari posisi enam.
