Jonathan Rea moved to the top of the timesheets as rain descended on the Portim🌜a🐓o circuit for the second day of World Superbike pre-season testing.

With lap♓ times around thirteen seconds adrift of what was being achieved yesterday, not every rider ventured onto track, with both Ducati Xerox riders, S♍hane Byrne and Max Biaggi opting to stay in the pit lane.

Of those that did head out onto track, mileage was kept to a relative minimum, with Kawasaki'sꦺ Chris Vermeulen flexing his wet weather credentials by featuring on top for a lengthy time.

However, by the chequered flag, Rea and Friday ♑pace setter Leon Haslam had leapfrogged him and pushed the Australian down to third.

Once again, there was a British theme to the top positions, with Cal Crutchlow fourth and Leon Camier sixth, the pair being separated by Suzuki's Sylvain Guintoli༺.

Carlos Checa, T﷽roy Corser and Max Neukirchner - who was able to complete a sizeable amount of laps on the Ten Kate Honda as he continues to regain his confidence - and Tom Sykes rounded out the top ten.
