Sunday's race winner Franco Morbidelli did not take part due to a 'stomach upset'.
Also absent was Honda's Stefan Bradl - at least one of his 2020 machines being used by Nakagami - and Tech3 KTM's Iker Lecuona. Ducati riders Andrea Dovizioso and Francesco Bagnaia halted testing after Session 1.
Tyre selection was the same as for the Misano races...
