Chase Sexton edged Jett Lawrence to give hope for his title challenge on the KTM but Jett was right there in second and Hunter third.
Haiden Deegen, Levi Kitchen, Tom Vialle and Jo Shimoda, the big pre-season favourites for the title were all on pace with only two tenths splitting those four in Q1 at Pala but it was Chance Hymas quickest!
