Jerez World Superbike: Friday Practice LIVE UPDATES
Live coverage of the Friday practice sessions at the Jerez World Superbike round.
WorldSBK FP1 in Jerez is set to get underway at 10:35 local time, with FP2 coming up this afternoon at 15:00 local time.
The chequered flag is out in Jerez and it's Michael Ruben Rinaldi who tops FP2 from Nicolo Bulega and Danilo Petrucci.
Rinaldi's P1 lap might be slightly flattering - he used the SCQ tyre to do it.
Razgatlioglu back in the pits now with 90 seconds remaining.
It's been a quiet session for Bautista. He's now up to 11th but still in the 1:40s.
Rinaldi now to the top by 0.229s, despite being caught up in some games between Bulega and Razgatlioglu.
Van der Mark now improves, too, up to fifth place. So the top-five is now Petrucci, Bulega, Razgatlioglu, Rea, and van der Mark.
Razgatlioglu improves to third place, 0.048s off Petrucci's benchmark.
Bulega improves again, 0.011s behind Petrucci now and back up to second. Runs on at turn one immediately after, though.
Now Rea is up to second on the Yamaha, 0.054s behind Petrucci. It's all getting fairly tight at the top, now.
Bulega now up to second, ahead of Razgatlioglu. Under a tenth behind Petrucci, too, who is still fastest.
Bit of a moment for Vierge, he runs out on the grass exiting the final corner. Not great speed when he is on the asphalt at the moment, either - Vierge down in 17th at the moment.
Gerloff improves again, he's up to 10th now with just over 20 minutes remaining of this FP2 session.
Most riders just long running at the moment, but Gerloff just popped himself up to 11th.
Bassani up to fifth with his latest lap. Some strong speed from the Kawasaki rider.
TV world feed spending a lap on-board with Bautista. He's 13th at the moment, and it seems like stopping the bike is at least one of the things holding him back.
Razgatlioglu was improving on his latest lap but lost time in sector three. He seemed to have some notable rear vibration at turn eight.
Petrucci now to the top, over a tenth clear of the field. Still not quite matching the 1:39.7s of Razgatlioglu and Bulega from this morning, though.
Rinaldi up to second place with his latest lap, 0.008s off Razgatlioglu.
Razgatlioglu to the top now, 0.013s ahead of Petrucci.
There's been a crash for Alessandro Delbianco at turn one.
Andrea Iannone has set the early pace this afternoon. He's picked up right where he left off in FP1, in the high-1:39s.
Nicolo Bulega was fastest this morning, and he and Toprak Razgatlioglu had a clear advantage on the field, both able to lap consistently in the high-1:39s.
The pit lane is open in Jerez and here we go for FP2 at this final round of 2024.
Welcome back to Jerez for live coverage of the WorldSBK FP2 season from this weekend's Spanish Round, due to get underway in around five minutes at 15:00 local time.
