Jonathan Rea led✱ a Kawasa🀅ki Racing 1-2 in morning warm-up ahead of Sunday’s two World Superbike Championship races as inclement weather threw a curve ball into proceedings at Imola.

The Ulsterman ran out a dominant winner in race one aboard the ZX-10RR and continued toꦅ show fine form on a slippery surface as the only rider to go beneath two minutes in the s💧hort session with a 1m 58.703s lap.

Putting him 1.4secs clear of the opposition, team-mate Leon Haslam headed up that challenge somewhat surprisi❀ngly from privateer Honda rider Alessandro Delbianco, who catapulted to third best in the closinওg stages.

Though the F🌼ireblade contingent is down to two bikes following Leon Camier’s withdrawal, Ryuichi Kiyonari emphasised the Honda’s apparent abilities in the wet with the sixth best lap in a result that will likely have the struggling Moriwaki Althea team doing a ‘rain dance’ this morning.

Not that it will likely need to, with the ‘chance of rain’ at🐽 Imola coming in no lower than 95 per cent between 11am and 4pm according to forecasts indicating ♊a guaranteed two wet races.

Elsewhere, Pata Yamaha duo Michael van der Mark and Alex Lowes filled the positions b🦋etween the Hondas in fourth and fifth, with Michael Ruben Rinaldi and championship leader Alvaro Bautista in eighth.
