The intermediate class took their turn under the sensible sun of Brno and Sam Lowes was the rider to shine most, snatching the lead in the closing stages of FP1. The Marc VDS rider found over three tenths of a second on the opposition, which was led by a resurgent Joe Roberts, another of the men to show fine speed throughout the session. Tetsuta Nagashima joined the top three only seven hundredths of a second behind the American and was the last man within half a second of Lowes.
Augusto Fernandez is hinting at a bit of a comeback with his fourth place in FP1, ahead of Marcel Schrotter and early leader Stefano Manzi. Fresh off his maiden win in Andalucia, Enea Bastianini was back in the mix in seventh spot, with compatriots Lorenzo Baldassarri, Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio rounding out the top ten. Luca Marini and Remy Gardner were the last men to post a time within a second of the leader.
