Rea set a time of 1:36.030s which was two tenths faster than Razgat🦄lioglu’s FP3 time, and also t🧔he reigning World Superbike champion’s first effort of Superpole. 

After attempting t♐o go quicker on his second lap, Rea 🙈struggled for grip in sector three before electing to return to pit lane. 

Razgatliogluꦰ had no such issues as he instead impro𝐆ved to go within +0.080s of the Kawasaki rider. 

After positioning himself behind Rea, Honda rider Iker Lecuona made the most of it by going🙈 third fastest. 

In fact, Lecuona had the quickest first sector before a new lap record from Rea meanဣt he was fastest in🥃 every sector. 

A time of 1:35.346s was set by the Kawasaki rider - half a second under the existing l𝓰ap rec꧃ord. 

While Loris Baz suffered a crash at turn nine, Razgatlioglu began his final lap by going even quicker than Rea in sector one. However, the Pata ♍Yamaha rider lost time in sector four as Rea held on to pole by just +0.091s.

Razgatlioglu delivers again as he tops World Superbike FP3 at Estoril

As was the ca🌌se during Friday’s FP2, Rea showed immediate pace as he went a second clear of anyone. 

That margin remained stable over the next few laps before Scott Redding reduced the 🌞Kawasaki rider’s lead to nine tenths. 

Rea’s 1m 37s flat was then bettered by the six-time world champion as he set an impressive time of 1:36.760s.&nbsꦦp;

Alvaro Bautista, winner of three races so far this season, reduced Rea’s lead to just under f🦂our tenths, while Razไgatlioglu remained off the pace in seventh. 

Rea, who was clearly enjoying the cooler condit🐈ions of FP3, went quicker than his day-one effort after setting a time of 1:36.571s. Rea wasn’t alone in improving on his personal best lap as team-mate Alex Lowes did the same to go fourth quickest.&nb💟sp;

After a brief return to pit lane, Razgatlioglu found incredible pace as h💜e wen♌t quickest by just under a tenth from Rea.

Able to set mid 1m 36s at will, Razgatlioglu💝 improved again in what was quickly becoming a repeat of Friday’s running. 

A 1:36.465s was then turned into a time of 1:36.222s by Razgatlioglu, which was a new fastest lap🐼 of the weekend to that point.&n🍌bsp; 

Unable to replicate his stunning pace on day-one, Garrett Gerloff suffered a big fall at the final corner. 🧔The American was pushing the limits of his R1 before a big highside which left the former MotoAmerica rider winded. 

The top five remained unchanged through to the checkered flag, while a late effort from Iker Lec𒁏uona saw the Honda rider move into P7.
