Nicolo Bulega continued his dominant testing form during a delayed opening practice at the 2025 Phillip Island 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike round.

Oil dropped during the previous WorldSSP ꧅practice caused the 45-min🎉ute session to start 20-minutes later than planned.

When the act🍎ion did get underway, in bright and sunny conditions, Bulega was soon on top of the timesheets, courtesy of a searing ten-lap opening run.

That distance equals the race distance before the man💧datory pit stop in place for this weekend’s races.

Content with his morning work, which included 🍸a session best of 1m 28.922s, Bulega then pitted and🃏 completed only two more laps.

That lap🐼 initially put the title runner-up 0.574s clear of Andrea Iannone, although the Go ♌Eleven rider reduced the deficit to 0.367s later in the session.

Bulega’s Aruba team-mate Alvaro Bautista and🐽 Barni’s Danilo Petrucci completed the all-Panigale top foꦐur.

Dominique Aeger🧸🌸ter made a late progress for best of the rest in fifth for Yamaha, followed by reigning champion Toprak Razgatlioglu in sixth (+0.857s).

The BMW star’s session was interrup🌳ted by a small fall at the Turn 4 hairpin with 15 minutes remaining.

Razgatlioglu 🍃jumped straight to his feet but, still sore from his testing highside, required marshals to lift the bike.

Bimota’s Alex Lo🅠wes took seventh despite losing 10km/h on the straight, with Andrea Locatelli (Yamaha), Axel Bassani (Bimota) and twin brother Sam Lowes (Ducati) completing the top ten.

FP2 starts at 4pm.
