P1 – Dominique Aegerter (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) 1’39.806s

• With his time of 1’39.806s, he was faster than the race lap record set by Isaac Vinales in 2020 by around two tenths of a second.

"Our Friday in Estoril went very well. We had very hot conditions but perfect track conditions. I like the track here. We were working for a fast lap and on our race pace to be ready for tomorrow's Superpole and Race 1. I hope the weather will stay nice like today. I've seen on the forecast we might have some rain. Last year, it was a very emotional first victory here, dedicated to Jason. The goal is to fight for the victory again. Until now, it looks good, and we'll try to achieve our goal."
