With 20 minutes remaining the best of the conditions presented themselves to the BSB riders which saw Be 🌠Wiser Ducati’s Brookes jump up to the top of times narrowly ahead of Buchan.

Rainꦬ then returned with five minutes to go in FP2 to curtail the rest of the running before this weekend’s t🍃riple-header.

With Brookes topping Friday p🅠ractice with a 1m 🍬28.873s he edged out FS-3 Racing Kawasaki’s Buchan by just 0.038s but was almost four-tenths of a second clear of Iddon on the Tyco BMW.

Redding had to settle for fourth place o🔴n the FP2 timesheet for Be Wiser Ducati before the rain returned late on, with James Ellison impressing for OMG Racing Suzuki in fifth place.

Peter Hickman claimed sixth place for Sm🀅iths Racing BMW ahead of final BSB title contender Tommy 🎃Bridewell who ended FP2 in seventh place for Oxford Racing Ducati.
