Looking confident in his performance and machinery, the number 96 slotted i𓂃n near compatriot Sam Lowes on track in the latter stages of the session as the duo vied for the top spot.
Dixo🍃n secured it with a record lap of the new track - a 1m 35.799s.
Lowes was on good form too and on top of his injury woes, but pulled out of a last run at the top slot on the grid after a huge warning wobble at turn seven𝐆teen, leaving him third for Elf Marc VDS, with two Brit🌌s on the front row.
The pair ar🐈e split by Lowes’ old team-mate Augusto Fernandez, just 0.012s slower after he stepped up to the challenge in the closing stages of the session.
Now at Red Bull KTM Ajo, the pair did not see eye to eye on track with an altercation on the cool down lap over the yellow flag condition💯s, which was all settled by the time they parked up in parc ferme.
Fourth went to Somkiat Cha🐲ntra who had set the early benꦿchmark lap in the session for Idemitsu Honda Team Asia after progressing from Q1 with the top time.
Bo Bendsneyder was ⛄competitive on hಌis way to fifth for the home sponsored Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team.
Albert Arenas made late gainsꦛ to secure sixth for Inde GasGas Aspar, cementing a great day for the team. The Spaniard was one of several riders to falওl at the already notorious turn two, along with Jorge Navarro and Cameron Beaubier.
Qatar winner and pole man Celestino Vietti had to settle for seventh this tim🍬e out.
Tony Arbolino secured eig🐭hth on the second Elf MArc VDS entry and class veteran Simone Corsi made the most of moving up through Q1 to claim ninth for MV Agusta Forward Racing.
Pedro Acosta completes the top ten but has a long lap penalty to serve in the race after crashing hi🌞s Red Bull KTM Ajo under yellow flag conditions in FP2. The Moto3 champion was the best placed of the Moto2 rookie riders.
Cameron Beaubier recovered from his spill to take eleventh for American Racing. Fellow American Joe Roberts just missed out on moving up to Q2 with his final run falling ju✨st short, leaving him 19th for Italtrans.
In opposite fortunes to Moto2, most of the rookie riders had a day to forget - Manuel Gonzalez (Yamaha VR46 Master Camp Team) had a bike issue at the start of the session but recovered for 17th.
Ther🐟e were also falls for Alessandro Zaccone, Gabriel R🐠odrigo and Sean Dylan Kelly, all in Q1.
