Petr▨ucci completed 53 laps aboard the new Panigale V4 R, finishing just over half a second off Razgatlioglu.
But despite his impressive pace, Petrucci admitted that nerves were there prior to heading out🔯 onto the Jerez circuit.
"I’m happy to be here again in the WorldSBK paddock," Petrucci told . "I must say I was very, very nervous this morning. In the last t𝐆wo years, I’m used to new experiences, but this one, let’s say, I have a little bit more pressure.
"Today was really important to get a good feeling🍸. Immediately, I found a good bike; really simi꧒lar to the one I had in the USA but with different tyres.
"We sp🍷ent the day working on the setup to find a base. I’m satisfied. The lap time was not bad but, in the end, I was a little bit tired and I didn’t have many chances to put on a new tyre to do a time attack."
So far on day-two of the Jerez test - the final day of action - Razgatlioglu continued to lead the way 🍎during this morning’s running, although the Yamaha rider suffered a big crash at turn 13.
Razgatlioglu was unhurt from the crash as he returned to pit lane before making his way back out onto the track with his second bike. Petrucci and fellow rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner enjoyed another str�𓂃�ong start as both riders were inside the top ten.
Bautista was second heading into the lunch break ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea, with Rinaldi and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Locatelli rounding out the top five.
