The only rider under the 1'49 mark at the end of the second and final day of the WorldSBK test at Motorland Aragón, Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) sent a clear signal to his opponents.
Already the fastest yesterday, but only by 16 thousandths compared to Toprak Razgatlioğlu (Paw Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK), the Northern Irishman was able to take advantage of slightly higher temperatures to increase the pace this Tuesday.
The time of 1'48.943 set in the second session on Tuesday was enough to ensure he finished on top, but the Briton still improved the afternoon with a lap in 1'48.714, finishing in the final Superbike test .3 tenths ahead of the inevitable Toprak Razgatlioğlu.
Like yesterday, Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) achieves the third best time ahead Garrett gerloff (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) while Loris Baz (Bonovo Action BMW) progressed from 7th to 5th position.
Does this mean that this leadership hierarchy is now established? Answer this weekend on the same circuit!
