Ducati-Gresini rider Alex clocked the fastest qualifying time of 1min 56.493sec, which was 0.070sec faster than older brother Marc.
Pedro Acosta came in third, followed by Japan's Ai Ogura and Italian Marco Bezzecchi.
Ducati's Marc Marquez has a golden opportunity to increase his 10-point championship advantage over Martin after putting himself on the front row for Saturday's sprint and Sunday's main race.
