We're into the final four minutes now, time for riders to make their move if they want to go through to Q2.
Zarco crosses the line to start his first flying lap.
Crutchlow, of course, set the pace yesterday, but crashed on his outlap in third practice and then didn't improve in the session, dropping from first to 11th in the combined order.
Then it's Baz in fourth, Iannone, Redding, Pol Espargaro, Crutchlow, Miller, Lowes, Abraham, Smith and Guintoli.
Going through at the moment are Petrucci and Folger, they are 0.397s clear of third-placed Barbera.
With seven minutes to go, Zarco has decided to join the party.

Green flag
The first part of qualifying has been given the green light. Several big names in this session, all of whom capable of securing a place in Q2. This should be good fun.

FP4 has just concluded, and it was Tech3 Yamaha's Johann Zarco who topped the session with a last-gasp effort of 1m47.690s.
Second-placed man Valentino Rossi suffered a late tumble at Turn 12, but thankfully walked away. Already suffering from injuries sustained in a motocross training accident last week, a crash is the last thing he needs.
