Having topped the Dorna-supported test at the Spanish track earlier this week, Rea was also quickest across the two practice sessions on Friday on the revised Kawasaki ZX-10RR as he began his quest for a seventh WSBK title.
The Ulsterman was quick out of the blocks in FP1, going straight to the top with a 1m49.301s. Alex Lowes briefly made it a 1-2 for Kawasaki at the head of the timesheets, before Razgatlioglu and then Ducati’s Michael Ruben Rinaldi pushed him down to fourth at the end of the session.
