Leon Haslam has topped the time🗹s in the second free practice session for JG Speedfit Kawasaki at a chilly Donington Park ahead of the opening round of the 2018 Bennetts Briti𝄹sh Superbike championship season.

After the confirmed s🅺chedule reshuffle for thღe 2018 season opener due to poor weather forecasts, the majority of BSB riders used the 45-minute session to notch up laps in conditions predicted to be similar to race one which has been 🍷moved to Sunday.

As the pace sharpene🔜d with the late flying laps, Haslam shot to the top with a 1m 39.690s as conditions slowly dried out with a number of riders switching to the intermediate Pirelli tyres at the end of the session.

Tyco BMW’s Christian Iddon produced a final lap to move within two-tenths of Haslam’s timesheet top🍸per and take second place from Anvil Hire Yamaha’s James Ellison while RAF Reserves Kawasaki’s Jake Dixon kept in touching dist𒁏ance of the top three.

Despite being one-second off of Haslam’s best effort Bradley Ray placed his Buildbase Suzuki into fifth on the timesheet ahead of Honda Racing’s Jason O’Halloran and Lloyd♍ & Jones PR Racing BMW’s Jakub Smrz.

Richard Cooper endured a late fall 🍌꧅at the Old Hairpin for Buildbase Suzuki but kept hold of ninth place on the times with the Halsall Racing-run Suzuki squad led by Tommy Bridewell rounding out the top ten.

After opting to sit out the majority of FP2 due to the conditions, FP1 timesheet-topper Shane Byrne claimed 12th for Be Wiser Ducati, just behind Smiths BMW’s Peter Hickman, while McAMS Yamaha’s Josh Brookes suffered an early fall at Coppice which saw the unfortunate Danny Buchan (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) collected by the 𝔍Australian’s stricken Yamaha.
