Starting day-two the way he eꦐnded Friday’s opening day of WorldSBK testing in Catalunya, it was Ducati🐼’s Alvaro Bautista who was once again the early pace setter. 

However, the Spaniard was not top for long as Team HRC rider Iker Lecuona showed what appears to be much improved performance from 🦂Honda to go fastest. 

At🍎 the conclusion of the first ho🐬ur, Lecuona set a time of 1:41.708s, which was just +0.023s quicker than Toprak Razgatlioglu in second. 

Taking advantage of the grip that was put down after eight hours of continuous action, Lecuona’s lap time was also half second quicker than he went at any time on🍸 day-one. 

But in typical Bautista fashion, whether it be 11 days ago at the two-day Misano test or here in Catalunya, the former MotoGP rider responded by clinching top spot come the end 🌱hour #2.

While Bautista and Lecuona coꦿntinued to battle hard for top spot, it was neither Sp🥃aniard who managed to claim the fastest time as riders headed for a lunch break. 

That instead went the way of defending champion R💮azgatlioglu. 

The Pata Yamaha rider set the fastest lap of the test thus far with a time of 1:40.571s - close to four tenths c👍lear of Bautista🗹. 

With Yamaha, Ducati, Kawasaki and Honda 👍all showing themselဣves towards the top of the times, the only manufacturer missing was BMW. 

Off the pa🔴ce on day-one, and by quite some margin it must be said, things took a similar course of action as Scott Redding was over two seconds down for most of the morning. 

The ex-British Superbike champion did manage to climb as high as fifth, before that becam🐎e seventhꦬ following significant improvements from Garrett Gerloff and Michael Rinaldi.
