Due to overnight rains reducing the amount of available grip Saturday morning, none of the top-10 riders went faster in Qualifying Two (Q2) on Saturday morning than they went during Qualifying One (Q1) on Friday.
Beach, Fong, Gagne, and Petersen all crashed during Q2 on Saturday. All four riders were seen walking away from their crashes.
