It was Tom Vialle who grabbed the holeshot in the qualifying race as Jeffrey Herlings went sideways around the first corner which give him plenty of work to do.
At the front, Romain Febvre did catch Vialle so will argue he was slightly faster but he couldn’t find a spot to pass the impressive Vialle who didn’t make any mistakes.
Herlings got his back way back up to third after passing Andrea Adamo. Before the qualifying race, Herlings had 40 consecutive sessions finishing first but that impressive streak has now been broken.
