And he has got a fight on his hands! To꧋prak Razga✱tlioglu takes P1 away with a minute to go.
Bulega does it! With the chequered flag ꦬwaving he snatches P1 back from Razgatlioglu by 0.114s to complete a perfect sweep of the four Phillip Island test sessions.
2mins to go𒅌 and Bulega hits the top! 0.163s quicker than Iannone. The Aruba rider is 💜fighting to keep his perfect sweep of the four test sessions.
Bulega goes third, just 0.1s from the top.
But Iannone does even bet♌ter and goes fastest𓃲 with a 1m 29.797s.
Bautista splits the Lowes brothers in 2n📖d, with team-mate Bulega up to 10th.
5mins to go andꩵ test leaꦐder Nicolo Bulega finally heads out.
Mean𒁏while it's a Lowes one-two with Alex now ahead of Sam.
Lowes is now only half-aಌ-second from his best dry time of the test.
Sam Lowes ꦦand Toprak Raz𒁏gatlioglu overhaul Redding as the final ten minutes of testing begin.
Toprak Razgatlioglu alsꦕo sets his first flying laps of the afternoon and is into third place.
15mins to go.
Marc VDS rider Sam ♔Lowes makes it a British one-two by replacing Nagashima in second.
Redding impr﷽oves again, to a 1m 30.9s and is༺ now two-seconds clear.
Redding ꩵslices time off in all four sectors and sets 🐟a 1m 31.1s, which is only 1.2s off his fastest lap of the test.
Those lap times look to have prompted others to head out, including returning Ducati rider S🐬cott Redding.
Redding blasts straight to the top with a 1m 32.1s, 3sec clear of Mon🎶tella, and is going even quicker on his next lap.
The 𝔉track continues to dry and Montella suddenly breaks into the 1m 38s on slicks. Nagashima is hot on his heel💝s.
The crossover point bet🐼ween wets and slicks will be valuable information if - or when - rain arrives during the race weeken𒊎d.
30m🐻ins to go, Dominique Aegerter now compl♍etes the top three, behind Petrucci and Vickers.
Razgatlio🔯glu's team-mate Michael van der Mark also does a slow lap and then p♒its.
Razgatlioglu immediately pits, perhaps just a shakedown🐟 lap𓃲.

The Barni rider shows he's still formidable in the wet by going quicke🅘st on only his second lap. Presumably happy, he then🍬 pits.
Vickers pits and Danilo Petrucci heads out. The Italian is a MotoGP winner in the wet so let's se🉐e what he can do.
