Bauti🌸sta's record pace began early this morning as the WorldSBK champion immediately broke the official lap record, which was set by Rea during the Tissot Superpole session last season.

Third fastest behind the duo of Bautista and Rea, Razgatlioglu was then pushed down to fourth as Rinaldi’s impressive pre-season conಌtinued.
