Axel Bassani has gone to the top of the times on the Bimota, a 1:40.276 puts him 0.009s ahead of van der Mark, with Bautista now rounding out the top three.

Sam Lowes goes second on the timesheet with a 1'40.347 lap.

Alvaro Bautista goes third with a 1'40.544 lap.

Jonathan Rea posts a 1'40.717s lap, he's second behind Van Der Mark.

Andrea Iannone is third.

Michael van der Mark has crashed at Turn 8. Rider is OK.

Van der Mark into the 1:40s now, his 1:40.285 puts him just under half-a-second clear of Jonathan Rea, while Axel Bassani is third on the Bimota.

Van der Mark has now lowered the best time so far to a 1:41.104. 

For reference, the pole position record for WorldSBK was set last year by Nicolo Bulega at a 1:37.596, and his race lap record (from last year's Superpole Race) is a 1:38.528. 

So we're still a little way off representative lap times.

Scott Redding's Bonovo MGM Ducati team has unveiled its 2025 livery this morning in Jerez.

Redding puts a 1'43.015s lap on the board.

Michael van der Mark and Scott Redding are the first riders out on track today.

WSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu injured a finger during training.

He will definitely miss this two-day Jerez test.

Razgatlioglu said: “Maybe I’ll be at Portimao. If not, for sure, Phillip Island.

“I crashed with the enduro bike. In the off-season, I’m always riding an enduro bike because I love it but I crashed.

“It was very small, I don’t understand why my finger is broken.

“I need time, maybe two weeks or three. I’ll try to come back at the Portimao test.”

The track has opened, meaning official testing for the new year is underway.
