Superbike Misano, Free Practice 3: Rea is starting to get serious

Superbike, Pirelli Riviera di Rimini Round. Free Practice 3 has just ended, and we remind you that it is not valid for the purposes of access to the Tissot-Superpole, with Jonathan Rea preparing for today's qualifying by setting the best time, a 1'35.320, just over that of Hayden yesterday (1'35.263) testifying to the fact that the reigning Champion is keen on pole.

Behind him we find Chaz Davies, who was also yesterday focused on finding the right grip, with practically the same time, 1'35.372, a tenth below the time of Tom Sykes who follows in third place.
Another fourth time for Davide Giugliano, a full one and a half tenths behind the leader, followed by Nicky Hayden at two and a half tenths.

However, the time set by Michael Van der Mark was good, 1'35.573, just slightly ahead of his teammate: perhaps the young Dutchman has finally found the right set-up to be able to do well this weekend, after the crisis that is tormenting him from the Imola round.
Seventh time for Jordi Torres followed by Xavi Fores on the Panigale of the Barni Racing team, with Lorenzo Savadori and Alex Lowes closing the final top 10 of free practice.

Appointment at 10.30 with the first heat of Tissot-Superpole in which we will see the drivers engaged who at the end of the two free practices set the fastest times from 11th to 24th, including: Savadori, West of the Pedercini Racing team, Roman Ramos of the GoEleven team, Niccolç Canepa, Leon Camier, Alex De Angelis, Karel Abraham and Josh Brookes of the Milwaukee BMW team.
