Laptimes in the second Jerez World Superbike free practice session remained mostly unchanged this afternoon as track temperatures soared in the Spamnish heat with only Voltcom Suzuki’s Alex Lowes recording any significant improvement.
Tom Sykes and Jonathan Rea remained at the top of the combined timesheets as Lowes bounced into third place on a 1’42.047 to get within a tenth of the fastest Kawasaki. The track temperature went up from 31°C to a blistering ??? over lunch.
Aprilia’s Jordi Torres went marginally quicker than his time from the morning with a 1’42.180 while team-mate Leon Haslam was on schedule to find a faster time but was held up by Imre Toth through the whole of sector three on his quickest lap so finds himself in seventh behind Torres.
Leon Camier also found some pace on the MV Agusta, lapping at 1’43.160 to go 15th quickest on the combined timesheets. Loris Baz’s outright lap record of 1’40.298, set with a 48°C track temperature, is safe for today.
