The morning session was affected by heavy rain, that left the track completely wet, only allowing the riders a tentative first taste of the circuit. Despite a good start, Iannone was unable to properly reduce his lap time and ended the first session in 16th place, with a best lap of 2'06.507. Rins, for his part, struggled to find confidence on the GSX-RR in this circuit and ended in 23rd place with 2'07.801.
In the afternoon, the track got dry and riders were able to exit with a dry set up and slick tyres, trying to proceed with the work with the work at hand. The final result saw Rins end up in 18th place with 1'58.042 and Iannone in 20th with 1'58.194.
"Brno is a tricky track that requires many laps and experience to properly understand and give 100%. The work process is going smooth, we tested some things and I'm confident tomorrow we will be able to improve significantly and get a good preparation for the Sunday's race.
