Laguna Seca WorldSBK - Free Practice Results (3)
Jonathan Rea returned to the top of the World Superbike Championship timesheets during third and final free pra🐻ctice at Laguna Seca, ahead of today’s Sup﷽erpole and first race.
Having been pipped to Friday’s ‘bragging rights’ by Chaz Davies after the Welshman’s rapid lap in the closing stages of FP2, Rea was back in commanding form aboard the Kawasaki ZX-ꦺ10RR this morning to pu♋t three tenths between himself and the Aruba.it Ducati rider, who retained second despite failing to improve his time.
His team-mate Alvaro Bautista held onto third position, 🦄just a tenth further back, while Toprak Razgatlioglu slid down the order initially a🐷fter a crash at turn eight before returning to the track to take fourth by the chequered flag.
Britis𝓰h pair Alex Lowes and Leon Haslam completed the top six, while Jordi Torres popped up in a noteworthy seven🏅th fastest aboard the Pedercini Kawasaki ahead of top BMW rider Tom Sykes, Loris Baz and Leandro Mercado.
Elsewhere, Michael van der Mark seemingly has work to do ahead o൲f qualifying after only setting the 14th quickest lap, even if his Friday effort was enough to keep him 11th on the overall classification.
Superpole take☂s place today at 19.00 with the first ofꦐ three WorldSBK races in California this weekend kicks off at 22.00
