Bulega edged out Razgatlioglu by 0.190 seconds, highlighting Ducati’s technical edge on home turf. The battle for positions three to five was also fiercely close, with minimal time gaps.
Nicolo Bulega leveraged optimal Ducati settings to secure the top spot, despite reports of vibrations affecting some bikes. Toprak Razgatlioglu remained a strong contender with consistent BMW performance, though trailing slightly. Notable incidents included Sam Lowes failing to record a time, likely due to technical issues or a crash, while Jonathan Rea’s 17th place may reflect ongoing adaptation to his new Yamaha bike.
The session underscored the dominance of Ducati and BMW, but Yamaha and Honda must refine their strategies for Superpole and the race. Predicted weather changes on Saturday could influence tire choices, offering opportunities for riders like Locatelli and Lecuona to climb the ranks. Lowes’ performance will be critical to ensure readiness for the next session.
