The JiR Honda rookie snatched top spot from the factory Repsol Hondas of Dani Pedrosa and Nicky Hayden after the time had run out in the wet one-hour session.
Dovizioso, whose best time of 1:43.957 was over 15 seconds slower than yesterday's time in the dry, ended the session 0.038 seconds faster than Pedrosa and over half a second faster than Hayden
Kawasaki's Anthony West also put in a late lap to slot into a surprise fourth position, as did Alice Ducati's Sylvain Guintoli who ended up fifth.
Reigning champion Casey Stoner settled for sixth-fastest one second behind Dovizioso, but the Ducati Marlboro rider's quickest lap time was set almost ten minutes before the end of the session.
Honda Gresini's Alex de Angelis was seventh-quickest ahead of the works Fiat Yamahas of Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi.
Rizla Suzuki's Ben Spies, who is having his MotoGP debut while deputising for injured Loris Capirossi, ended up tenth-fastest 0.142 seconds ahead teammate Chris Vermeulen.
