2022 British Superbike Test, Snetterton - Session 4 Results

With track conditions yielding c🎃onsiderably less grip than on Saturday due to cold air temperatures, McAMS Yamaha rider Jason O’Halloran remained🐭 untroubled on combined times despite not setting a lap.
One of the๊ first riders out on-track was former champion Leon Haslam, who makes his return to the BSB paddock for the first time since ꦅ2018, the same year he won his one and only title thus far.
With more than half the session complete and just nine riders circulating the Snetterton circuit, 🍨a track that’s one of the longest on the calendar, it was the Visiontrack Kawasaki rider who enjoyed considerable ཧtime at the top.
A time of 1:49.010s was set b🦹y Haslam which is 2.5 seconds off O’Halloran’s quickest time fro🌠m day-one.
Joining Haslam in the l🌠ow 1m 49s was new Buildbase Suzuki rider Christian Iddon, before the ꦍformer Ducati man went quickest by less than a tenth.

Another rider eager for track time despite the conditions was reigning champion Tarran Mackenzie, as the WorldSBK hopeful is returning to on-bike action for the first tim📖e since suffering a broken leg during an accident at Cartagena in January.
While he didn’t take to the track in session one of the final🌸 day - fourth official session of the weekend - the big news has been the return of Tom Sykes aboard Ducati machinery.
Not one to waste time getting up to speed, Syke༒s was one of five riders to go underneath the existing lap record on Saturday, a record previously set byဣ Shane ‘Shakey’ Bryne in 2017, again on a Ducati Panigale V4 R.
A total of ten riders took to 𓃲the track with only eight completing flying laps, however, that should drasticall♏y change during S2 and 3.
