2025 Official Phillip Island WorldSBK Test - Day 2 as it happened
Recap Tuesday’s final day of the 2025 Official Phillip Island WorldSBK test.
The second and final day of the 2025 Phillip Island WorldSBK test takes place today (Tuesday).
Jonathan Rea will not be present after suffering multiple fractures to his left foot on Monday, which will also rule him out of the upcoming Australian race weekend.
Nicolo Bulega was quickest from fellow Ducati rider Andrea Iannone on day one, with reigning champion Toprak Razgatlioglu recovering to third after a big morning highside.
The schedule for today's test is as follows;
Tuesday (18th February)
09:10-11:10 – WorldSBK Free Practice 1
11:20-13:10 – WorldSSP Free Practice 1
13:40-15:40 – WorldSBK Free Practice 2

Bulega does it! With the chequered flag waving he snatches P1 back from Razgatlioglu by 0.114s to complete a perfect sweep of the four Phillip Island test sessions.
04:39
2mins to go and Bulega hits the top! 0.163s quicker than Iannone. The Aruba rider is fighting to keep his perfect sweep of the four test sessions.
04:37
Bulega goes third, just 0.1s from the top.
But Iannone does even better and goes fastest with a 1m 29.797s.
04:36
Bautista splits the Lowes brothers in 2nd, with team-mate Bulega up to 10th.
04:35
5mins to go and test leader Nicolo Bulega finally heads out.
Meanwhile it's a Lowes one-two with Alex now ahead of Sam.
04:30
Lowes is now only half-a-second from his best dry time of the test.
04:30
Sam Lowes and Toprak Razgatlioglu overhaul Redding as the final ten minutes of testing begin.
04:25
Toprak Razgatlioglu also sets his first flying laps of the afternoon and is into third place.
15mins to go.
04:24
Marc VDS rider Sam Lowes makes it a British one-two by replacing Nagashima in second.
04:23
Redding improves again, to a 1m 30.9s and is now two-seconds clear.
04:21
Redding slices time off in all four sectors and sets a 1m 31.1s, which is only 1.2s off his fastest lap of the test.
04:20
Those lap times look to have prompted others to head out, including returning Ducati rider Scott Redding.
Redding blasts straight to the top with a 1m 32.1s, 3sec clear of Montella, and is going even quicker on his next lap.
04:16
The track continues to dry and Montella suddenly breaks into the 1m 38s on slicks. Nagashima is hot on his heels.
The crossover point between wets and slicks will be valuable information if - or when - rain arrives during the race weekend.
04:11
30mins to go, Dominique Aegerter now completes the top three, behind Petrucci and Vickers.
04:09
Razgatlioglu's team-mate Michael van der Mark also does a slow lap and then pits.
04:00
Razgatlioglu immediately pits, perhaps just a shakedown lap.
03:57
43mins to go and reigning champion Toprak Razgatlioglu joins the track for BMW.
03:55
Vickers cuts Petrucci's advantage to 0.235s and remains in second.
03:49
Rookie Vickers is back out and closing in on Petrucci's time...
03:40

7. Dominique Aegerter (Yamaha) +3.383s
8. Tetsuta Nagashima (Honda) +5.627s
03:38
The Barni rider shows he's still formidable in the wet by going quickest on only his second lap. Presumably happy, he then pits.
03:37
Vickers pits and Danilo Petrucci heads out. The Italian is a MotoGP winner in the wet so let's see what he can do.
