Guintoli just over a tenth and a half outside of the Q2 places with his latest lap.
The works KTM duo are six tenths clear of the field currently. Guintoli has put the Suzuki into third ahead of Nakagami. No laptime for Bradl yet, who came straight back in to switch to the medium tyre.

Espargaro takes over from his KTM team-mate Zarco with a 2m05.344s.

But that is immediately beaten by Nakagami with a 2m06.346s.
Stopwatch
Bagnaia sets the pace with a 2m09.202s.
Home hero Karel Abraham is the first out on track. Interestingly, only Bagnaia has gone out on the medium/medium wet tyres - that could be a really good move, with the track drying really quickly now.

Q1 is underway.

No Jorge Lorenzo this weekend. His recovery from the back injury he picked up at Assen is taking longer than expected. Stefan Bradl is deputising

Mir
Nakagami
Oliveira
Bradl

Also worth pointing out, those coming through Q1 will be at a major advantage to those directly into Q2 as they will have a better understanding of the conditions.
This opening 15 minutes could be fiercely contested. The KTMs and Suzuki wildcard Sylvain Guintoli were strong in FP4.

A wet FP4 has just concluded with Marc Marquez easing to top spot with a 2m03.779s lap. Q1 will certainly be wet, but Q2 be dry by the end of it.
