Ben Spies gave his rivals something to worry about ahead of the Monza round of t❀he World Superbike Championship as he brought the two-day test around the Italian circuit to a close with the quickest time.

His first 🌟visit to the high-speed track, which will host races nine and ten of the championship next month, Spies pumped in a best lap time of 1min 45.3secs, two tenths quicker than second place Noriyuki Haga and four tenths up on Michel Fabrizio'♔s leading effort from day one.

Fabrizio followed in third position, with Max Neukirchner and Tom Sykes fourth and fifth as the only other ride♓rs to 𝔍slip under the 1min 46secs marker.

Having spent three rounds acclimatising to his Celani Suzuki GSX-R1000, Karl Muggeridge got some useful testing under his belt and was even able to come away wi𝔍th a better lap than Yuki♋o Kagayama, Ruben Xaus and Troy Corser, the latter suffering a fall and choosing to sit out the remainder of the test.

Alex Hoffman and Steve Martin were also on track for Apr♐ilia and BMW respectively, but their lap times were not recorded🔥.
