2025 Portuguese World Superbike: Friday Practice As It Happened

Portuguese World Superbike - FP2 Results

And that's the chequered flag in FP2 at Portimao. Razgatlioglu ends fastest ahead of Bulega and van der Mark.

Mistake from Bulega at turn five. Just a run-on but with only seconds to go that's his session done.

Van der Mark up to third now, but still half-a-second behind his teammate.

Sam Lowes back out on track now as Petrucci goes fifth-fastest.

Razgatlioglu still maintaining that low-1:40 pace.

Better pace, too, from Razgatlioglu on this run. He followed up that 1:39 with a pair of low-1:40s. We'll see how the degradation is, though.

Razgatlioglu now into the 1:39s. A 1:39.995 has him now 0.339s ahead of Bulega. Only the top-seven within a second of the BMW rider.

Iannone has had a crash but has remounted and is now heading back to the pits. Still third place for the Italian at present.

Razgatlioglu to the top now. A 1:40.089 puts him almost a quarter of a second clear of Bulega.

Bulega down to a 1:40.334 now, and it's Iannone who's closest to him, albeit 0.261s adrift. Razgatlioglu third and 0.303s off the pace.

Bautista up to fourth with his latest lap, 0.372s behind Bulega's best.

Bike problems for Sam Lowes. He's stopped at the first turn.

Alvaro Bautista heading out now for his second run. Bulega on an out-lap too.

Montella had been lurking just outside the top-10, but now popped up to fourth with his latest lap. Really strong day for the Italian.

Razgatlioglu now back into the pits, as are most riders in the top-10 at the moment.

Of the front runners, only Alex Lowes and Sam Lowes are currently on-track.

Razgatlioglu's pace looking a little way off Bulega's at the moment. Bulega's consistent in the mid-1:40s still, Razgatlioglu in the low-1:41s.

We don't know tyre compounds (there are three rears including a new development option this weekend), and obviously Razgatlioglu is behind today in terms of mileage, but it's certainly encouraging for the championship leader at the moment.

Encouraging run this from Bulega, lapping consistently in the mid-1:40s.

Razgatlioglu back to within a tenth of Bulega with his second lap, 0.017s behind to be exact.

Behind, it's Alex Lowes in third and Bautista fourth, while Scott Redding rounds out the top-five - 0.411 seconds behind Bulega.

Another improvement from Bulega increases his advantage over Razgatlioglu to 0.115 seconds.

First lap of the day in for Razgatlioglu now, immediately into the mid-1:40s, and only 0.050s behind Bulega with that opening attempt.

A 1:40.685 puts Bulega on top for the first time this afternoon. Bautista joins him in the 1:40s, but a 1:40.976 is only 0.001s faster than Bulega's time this morning and almost 0.3s off the Italian's most recent benchmark.

Locatelli on top of the times now, a 1:41.064 would've been competitive this morning, too.

Shaun Muir telling the international TV feed just now that the problem this morning was more of an electronics issue rather than an issue with the engine. He said that the out-in first run for Razgatlioglu was just to check the work done between the sessions, and now the Turkish rider is heading out on a 10-lap run.

First laps just coming in now and it's Remy Gardner who has set the early pace. It's in the 1:41s for now, though.

It's an out-and-in-lap to open the session for Razgatlioglu. Everyone else just starting their first flying laps now.
