Riding his factory Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, the Ulsterman lapped the 2.8-mile (4.6 km) road course in 1:39.620, which was just short of his own All-Time Lap Record of 1:36.610.

Rea’s teammate Alex Lowes was second-best with a 1:39.762, and Andrea Locatelli earned the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:39.872 on his Pata Yamaha Prometeon YZF-R1.
