Nicolo Bulega will go into this weekend’s Australian WorldSBK season opener haꦰving be🍨en fastest in all four track sessions at the Phillip Island test.

Unbeaten in both Monday sessions, Ducati's reigning𒁃 title runner-up improved his b🌸est lap to 1m 28.680s on Tuesday morning.

Rain then arrived, creating a damp track for the final WorldSBK outing ⛦before a frantic final 20-minutes on slicks🎉.

Bulega only appeared for the last five minutes but continued his supremacy by snat🔥ching the top spot from reigning champion Toprak Razgatlioglu with a 1m 29.133s on his last lap.

The Italian’s perfect form puts him as th📖e man to beat heading into the race weekend, finishing the test a substantial 0.482s clear of Go Eleven Ducati’s Andrea Iannone on combined times.

Barni’s Danilo Petrucci also improved on the morning of day two to comple🍬te an all-Panigale top three, half-a-second behind Bulega.

BMW’s Razgatlioglu recovered from the shock of an early highside to claim third on Monday an💜d was ag✤ain the top non-Ducati on day two, when he set his best time in the damp last session.

Razgatlioglu had been losing out on top speed (11th on the charts, 7.7km/h slower Bulega), contributing to him being ranked just eighth throu൲gh Sector 1 this morning.

By contrast, the last half of th🌼e lap was Bulega’s best, while team-mate Alvaro Bautista🍒 set the Sector 1 pace on his way to fifth on the combined timesheets.

Six-time world champion Jonathan Rea was absent on Tuesday and will miss the🥂 opening race weekend afteꦦr suffering fractures to his left foot in a day one accident.

Rea’s team-mate Andrea Locatelli was the leading Yamaha in sixth (+0.813s), foll♏owed by the Bimotas of Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani. Honda’s Xavi Vierge (+1.132s) and MGM Bonovo rider Scott Redding (1.182s) completed the top ten.

Tuesday morning saw red flags after accidents for Ga🔥rrett Gerloff (Turn 8) and later Tarran Mackenzie (Turn 6), wi⛄th both escaping serious injury.

Rookie Ryan Vickers, who impressed with eighth on Monday, was the𒈔 other rider to crash (Turn 4) this morning.

Dominique Aegerter (17th) was the only ride🀅r other thܫan Razgatlioglu to lap quicker in the afternoon than the morning.

Free practice for the Australia🧜n WorldSBK rou𒉰nd starts on Friday morning.

Thi♔s weekend’s races will again feature mandatory pit stops due to concerns over tyre endurance, although the test suggests such fears were unfounded.

Weather forecasts currently predict dry w🐽eather on Friday and Saturday, but a 50% chance of rain on Sunday.
