The McAMS Yamaha rider set a new all-time BSB lap record during the third and final session of the day, which came afte💛r S1 and 2 also had previous lap records broken. 

The first rider to goℱ underneath former five-time BSB champion Shane ‘Shakey’ Bryne’s previous lap record, was SYNETIQ BMW rider Dann💮y Buchan. 

A lap time of 1:47.11🅰1s was set by ✨the ex-Kawasaki rider, before MCE Ducati rider Josh Brookes set a new benchmark.

The Australian went four tenths clear of Buchan’s time in S2,🐎 which resulted in no one getting within six tenths of the two-time series winner. 

And whi🐟le Brookes looked set to keep hold of his new lap record during the closing stages, late time attacks from O’Halloran and a certain ‘someone', meant Brookes was reduced to P3 on combined times.

That certain someone 🎀being 2013 WorldSBK champion Tom Sykes.

The former WorldSBK champion, who is making his comeback to British Su💃perbike for the first time since 2008, is also aboard Ducati machinery for the first time in his career. 

Riding a heavily blacked-out livery due to the newly-named M📖CE Ducati team not unveiling its off🌠icial 2022 colours yet, Sykes has seemingly adapted well the the Panigale V4 R. 

While a lot of hype is surrounding Sykes’s return, the former Kawasaki and most recently BMW rider wa🉐s not the only high profile name to be making his return from WorldSBK to BSB action, as 2018 series champion Leon Haslam made his debut for Visiontrack Kawasaki. 

Although Haslam slipped down to P15♏ by the end of the day, the 38 year-old showed enough potential throughout to suggest he’ll be in contention♑. 

Behind the leading trio of O’Halloran, Sykes and Brookes was Bradley Ray, who after switching from BMW to Yamaha machinery (with the same team), looks𒉰 to have found a more complete package, or at least one he’s more comfortable on. 

On a day where big names returned from another🃏 series, there was a big🎀 return to action for the current BSB champion, Tarran Mackenzie. 

After breaking his leg during an accidꦡent in Cartagena last January, the McAMS Yamaha man has been void of any on-bike action until this weekend.
