Davide Giugliano (Althea Racing Ducati) improved on his morning time to also head up the first qualifying session at Brno, setting a time of 1 minute 59.452 seconds before rains arrived at an inopportune moment, then falling heavier at the end of the session.

Fifth place so far went to Carlos Checa (Althea Racing Ducati). Local favourite Jakub Smrz (Liberty Racing-Team Effenbert) scored sixth on his vee-twin.
