Stoner still on top in warm-up
Casey Stoner's domination of the Czech Grand Prix weekend continued into the morning warm-up at Brno
The session was delayed by nearly an hour after Taro Sekiguchi's massive accident in the 250cc warm-up, but once it got underway Stoner asserted his authority with a 1:58.690 lap.
He has now been fastest in every session except second practice on Friday.
John Hopkins maintained his strong form with the second quickest time, just 0.013 seconds behind Stoner.
Yamaha's Colin Edwards was the top Michelin runner in third, ahead of Randy de Puniet on the Kawasaki, and Hopkins' Suzuki teammate Chris Vermeulen.
Front row starters Nicky Hayden and Dani Pedrosa were sixth and ninth on the Repsol Hondas, with Valentino Rossi and Alex Barros between them.
