The Yamaha rider, who leads the standings thanks to Casey Stoner's dramatic last-lap fall in Germany last weekend, was dominant throughout the two sessions, setting his best time of one minute 48.076 seconds early in the afternoon running. That was enough to edge out compatriot Dani Pedrosa by just three hundredths of a second.
