Superbike: Rea is still the fastest on the second day of testing in Jerez

Reigning World Champion Jonathan Rea once again set the best time in the day-2 test at Jerez de la Frontera, ahead of teammate Tom Sykes, an even better time than the pole set just two months ago by his teammate. team.
However, today Rea stopped the clock at 1'40.139 aboard the new ZX-10R, against the pole position of 1'40.292.
Sykesd, however, lost some time due to a small fall at turn 2, and finished three and a half tenths behind.

What surprised everyone, however, was Markus Reiterberger who, riding the S 1000 RR of the Althea Racing team, stopped just 23 thousandths off Sykes' time, stopping just behind his rival.
Jordi Torres also did well, continuing the adaptation work supported by the engineers of the Munich company in this first test of the new adventure with BMW in WorldSBK.
In the MV Agusta Reparto Corse team, Marco Melandri once again worked alone as a test rider, finding it difficult to move his weight with the tank currently supplied, given his different height compared to Leon Camier.
The team will test a new tank this week, which will be tested by Camier on Thursday and Friday.

Kenan Sofuoglu (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) and Raffaele De Rosa (Althea Racing) were the fastest for the WSS and STK1000 categories.
In Supersport, Lorenzo Zanetti took to the track together with Jules Cluzel with the MV Agusta Reparto Corse team, with the Frenchman still evaluating his physical condition which, given the limited mobility of the left ankle and the muscle deficit of the lower limbs, cannot they obviously allowed him to overdo the work.

Debut in winter testing for two former Superbike riders, both transalpine: Christophe Ponsson and Jeremy Guarnoni tested the ZX-10R of Team Pedercini in STK configuration.
Toprak Razgatlioglu also did well, decidedly competitive and not far behind De Rosa in terms of lap times, in what is his first contact with the 1000cc of the Puccetti Racing team.

Today, however, there is great anticipation for the return to the track of Davide Giugliano, who will join Chaz Davies, while Xavi Fores will test the Barni Racing team's Panigale R for the first time, with which he will take part in the 2016 season.
Also present were the official Yamaha team, with Sylvain Guintoli and Alex Lowes, and the Honda team with Michael van der Mark and Nicky Hayden.
