The Nitrous Competitions Racing Yamaha rider saved his best until his final lap of the session to launch ahead of his Raceways Yamaha rival, whilst Honda Racing UK’s Tommy Bridewell held a strong third place ahead of the team’s home round.

Charlie Nesbitt had been nudged to fourth on the MasterMac Honda with Bridewell’s final run improvement with Scott Redding completing the top five for Hager PBM Ducati.
