Haslam turned a best time of 1:43.2 on his S1000RR, according to the official World Superbike website. Eugene Laverty was unofficially second with a lap of 1:43.3 on his Alitalia Aprilia RSV4 Factory in spite of a highside crash during the day. Laverty was able to walk away from the crash and was relatively uninjured, according to www.worldsbk.com. Ayrton Badovini finished third-best on the day with a 1:43.4 on his BMW Motorrad Italia S1000RR, just ahead of former Superbike World Champion Max Biaggi’s 1:43.6 on his factory Aprilia. Current Supersport World Champion Chaz Davies was fifth on Tuesday’s time sheets with a 1:44.2 on his new ParkinGO Aprilia Superbike, well ahead of Haslam’s new teammate Marco Melandri, who did a 1:44.3 on his factory BMW S1000R.
