Startin🦹g day-two the way he ended Friday’s opening day of WorldSBK testing i👍n Catalunya, it was Ducati’s Alvaro Bautista who was once again the early pace setter. 

However, the Spaniard was not top for long as Team HRC rider Iker ꦆLecuona showed what appears to be much improved performance from Honda to go fastest. 

At the conclu🌱sion of the first hour, Lecuona set a time of 1:41.708s, which was just +0.023s quicker than Toprak Razgatlioglu in second. 

Taking advantage of the grip that was put down after eight hours of continuous action, Lecuona’s lap time🎐 was also half second q🌊uicker than he went at any time on day-one. 

But in typical Bautista f𒁃ashion, whether it be 11 days ago at the two-day Misano test or here in Catalunya, the former MotoGP rider responded by clinching top spot come the end hour #2.

While Bautista and Lecuona continued to battle hard for top spot, it was neither Spaniard who man🙈aged to claim the fasꦫtest time as riders headed for a lunch break. 

That instead went the way of defendin༒g champion Razgatlioglu. 

The Pata Yamaha rider 🍸set the fastest lap of the test thus f♎ar with a time of 1:40.571s - close to four tenths clear of Bautista. 

With Yamaha, Ducati, Kawasaki and Honda all showing themsel🥂ves towards the topജ of the times, the only manufacturer missing was BMW. 

Off the pace on day-one, and by quite some margin it must be said, things took a similar course of actio🌟n as Scott Redding was over two seconds down for most of the morning. 

The ex-British Superbike champion did manage to climb as high as fifth, before that became seventh following significant improvements from Garrett Gerloff and Michael Rin👍aldi.
