Petrucci completed 53 laps aboard the new P💜anigale V4 R, finishing just over half a second off Razgatlioglu.
But despite hiꦇs 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 paꦚddock," Petrucci told . "I must say I was very, very nervous this morning. In the last two 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 go📖od feeling. Immediately, I found a good bike; really similar to the one I had in the USA but with different tyres.
"We spent the day working on the setup to find a base. I’m satisfied. The lap time was not bad but, i⛦n 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 s𝐆uffered 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5最新开奖结果:Remy Gardner enjoyed another sಌtroಞng start as both riders were inside the top ten.
Bautista was second heading into the lunch break ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea, with Rinaldi and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Locatelli rounding out the top five.
