Eli Tomac’s 1:05.049 set the pace in the opening 450 qualifying session, with Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Chase Sexton just 0.034 seconds slower with a lap time of 1:05.083. There was no real separation in the opening qualifying session, with the top six (Tomac, Sexton, Roczen, Prado, Lawrence and Webb) separated by less than a second.

However, Sexton was the only rider to drop into the 1:04s in Q2, claiming pole position with a fastest lap time of 1:04.465, a dream start for the Kawasaki man.
