• 🌄Alvaro Bautista strikes back with top time in FP4 at Aragon WorldSBK test
• Rea, Ra💮zgatlioglu under Aragon race lap record as battle intens🔴ifies 
• Fernandez: 'I learned how to do a MotoGP race', is this 𒀰the turning point🐻?

Both riders exchange꧋d top spot on several occasions before a time of 1:49.268s saw ൲the reigning world champion move four tenths clear. 

Rea managed to reduce that margin on his very next lap, however, the gap remained over📖 three tenths.&🌜nbsp;

Then came a surprise…

Loris Baz shot up the leaderboard to go second quickest after it appeared BMW were once♔ again struggling - +0.115s down on Razgatlioglu. 

An impressive turn of pace from the f💖ormer Kawasaki and Yamaha rider, who was also the qu🐼ickest BMW rider on day-one. 

With ten minutes remaining Garrett Gerloff jumped ahead of Rea for third, whil🦂e GoEleven Ducati rider Philipp Oettl was displaced by Lecuona as the top rookie in ninth, after the German took that hon💧our in FP4. 

But as the seconds wound down, Rea set the first sub 1m 49s lap of the two-da꧅y test to go top - a lap time that was enough to put three tenths between him and Razgatlioglu. 

Rea’s effort also means hꦛe’s gone under the existing race lap record💮 - set by himself - for the second consecutive day.
