Jonathan Rea was untouchable in Friday practice for the Donington WorldSBK round, leading the field by more than half a second. Full report and results:
The six-time WSBK champion took a little over five minutes in second practice to lower Toprak Razgatliogu’s benchmark of 1m27.805s from FP1, putting himself well clear of the opposition with a 1m27.359s.
Last year’s title winner Razgatlioglu ended up as Rea’s closest challenger on the works Yamaha with a time of 1m27.568s, while Scott Redding made most of an upgraded BMW package that included a new swingarm to finish just 0.031s adrift of the Turkish rider in third. Bautista’s teammate Michael Ruben Rinaldi was classified another 0.005s behind in sixth, while Loris Baz - who is carrying the same updates as Redding on the satellite Bonovo MGM BMW bike - was a strong seventh.
