After a very fast day-one which saw 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Ruben Rinaldi, Rea and WorldSBK champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista finish within a tenth🅷 of a second, the official lap record was obliterated 🐎on day-two.

Bautista set the pace early as he broke the lap record on race tyres, before Rea, Rinaldi and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu joined him in doing so.

• ‘Hap🍰py to do it’ but Bautista plays down stunning lap record 𝓀at Portimao
• Four🧜 riders under Portimao lap record as Alvaro Bautista tops test

The official lap record, which still stands due to being s✱et in an official WorldSBK session, was set by Rea during last year’s Tissot Superpole. 

However, t𝓰he Kawasaki rider’s time of 1:39.610s, was beaten by over half a second by himself and Bautista, with the latt🍌er finishing fastest. 

"To do 1’39.0s at Portimao iꩲs fast," said Rea. "Last year, with the Q tyre, we did a 1’39.6 and now, with the race solutions, we’re even faster. 

"The track is in good shape, it’s always different con♒ditions so it’s hard to compare to what we did last year. Everyone’s moving forward. 

"The pace at the front is incredibly fast. Inside the box, we’ve been working really well. I’m enjoying riding the bike. It’s very hard to gauge how much we’ve made a step forward because it’s not under race conditions with othe🏅r riders, with 20 laps on the tyre. 

"Everyone in testing has a different schedule, let’s say. Some guys are gꦦoing full time attack mode, some guys are working on long runs, some are testing parts. 

"Testing’s testing. I’m quite excited now to park now and go to Australia in a few⛎ weeks and get the first race of the year under my belt."

Despite the impr🙈essive lap times which were close to the fastest race laps from MotoGP riders during last season’s Portuguese Gr💎and Prix, Rea has not been focusing too much on actual lap time, but rather the improvements Kawasaki can and seemingly have been making this pre-season. 

Rea added: "What’s clear is that racing never stands still. Everyone moves 🍒forward a♔nd I hope that’s the case inside the box. I think it’s the usual guys at the front. 

"What I’ve seen so far, and I haven’t looked very deep in the times, guys you mentioned are very fast and I’m happy to be amongst that. I don’t know 💙if it was the conditions or time ♓of day, but it was a strange feeling. 

"I us𓃲eꦿd the really soft tyre at the end of the day. Temperatures maybe dropped but I didn’t have the same sensations that I had with the SCX. With me, the SCX tyre felt more stable and also the SC0; I was able to make many laps with the SC0. 

"It was strange that the Q didn’t work. Normally we boltℱ the grippy tyres on the bike and we make a huge step so when they put it in, I 🍸was rolling my sleeves up.

"I could see the lap time with Bautista was almost the same. After the first sector, I thought it’s not happening today, it’s not going to work. I wanted to see 1’38s on ⛦my dash to make the fastest lap here! We got close, but not close enough."
