Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini both received two place grid penalties for Sunday after being judged to have ridden slowly on the racing line and disturbing Marc Marquez on the back straight in Q2. Mitigation was applied as a first offence, reducing the standard three place drop to two. Bezzecchi drops from second to fourth, with Acosta and Bagnaia promoted to the front row alongside Di Giannantonio.
