Razgatlioglu gets the better of Rea and Rinaldi during Donington Park FP1 Full story 👉 WorldSBK GBRWorldSBK
Wasting no time in asserting himself, six-time WorldSBK champion Jonathan Rea blasted to the top of the leaderboard by over 1.1 seconds from team-mate Alex Lowes.
Locatelli’s team-mate Toprak Razgatlioglu was also beginning to find pace as he went third quickest aboard his Yamaha R1.Keen to impress at his home round, Lowes moved to within +0.148s of Rea as the British pair continued their early dominance for Kawasaki. Still the only rider to go underneath the 1m 28s barrier, Rea was continuing to hold off Lowes and Razgatlioglu, while championship leader Alvaro Bautista was fifth fastest behind Redding.A track that has proved extremely difficult for Ducati - the Bologna-based manufacturer last won a race at the British circuit in 2011 - Bautista then moved his Panigale V4 R up to third place.
A circuit he calls his ‘favourite’ on the Superbike calendar, Razgatlioglu’s hopes of becoming a winner again at Donington Park appeared to be heading in the right direction.
