Alvaro Bautista leads the way at Magny-Cours on Sunday in a wet morning Warm-Up session.
After Michael van der Mark won the opening race of the weekend on Saturday, the morning Warm-Up session gave the riders a chance to get to grips with the circuit conditions before the two races on Sunday.
Alvaro Bautista starts Sunday on the top of the pile as he leads the World Superbike Warm-Up session. The Spaniard finished in second on Saturday and can cut Toprak Razgatlioglu's Championship lead.
In second place was Danilo Petrucci. The Italian finished in third place on Saturday and is known as a good wet-weather rider so he will be expecting more strong results on Sunday.
In third place was Tarran Mackenzie. The Petronas MIE Racing Honda rider crashed in the opening race of the weekend whilst running inside the top ten.
In fourth and fifth were two more Ducati riders with Michael Ruben Rinaldi and Sam Lowes.
The GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK riders, Alessandro Delbianco and Remy Gardner ended Warm-Up in sixth and seventh.
At the GMT94 Yamaha Teams home event, Philipp Oettl started the morning Warm-Up in eighth.
There were two riders that set lap times slower than the 105% cutoff with Ivo Lopes in ninth and Nicolo Bulega in tenth.
