The Frenchman, standing in for injured Suzuki rookie Alex Ri🦂ns for a third event, explained:
"It's a pity that I wasn?t able to take part in the qu♎alifying, as we made solid 𓃲improvements in the sessions and I felt positive of a good performance.
"I went for a painkiller treatment to my arm, right before the FP4, which is a procedure I have done times in the past, but unfortunately something went wrong and I had an unexpected reaction to the medica𓄧tion.
"This caused me to feel very dizzy and together with the team we decided not run in qualifying. I'm now already reco🔴vering and Iꦕ hope I will be ok for tomorrow."
Suzuki regular Andrea Iannone qualified twelfth.
KTM's Bradley Smith is also hoping to be fit for the race after a 🍨hand injury in qualifying.
Rins will be back on his GSX-RR at Monday's test.
