"It's a pity that I wasn?t 🍃able to ta𓄧ke part in the qualifying, as we made solid improvements 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 s🎉omething went wrong and I had an unexpected reaction to the medication.
"This caused me to feel very dizz𒐪y and together with the team we decided not run in qualifying. I'm now already recovering and ꦿI hope I will be ok for tomorrow."
Suzuki regular Andrea Iannone qualified twelfth.
KTM's Bradley Smithꦬ is also hoping to be fit for the race after a hand injury in qualifꦇying.
