Jonathan Rea was fastest in the wet on the second day of the Superbike World Championship test at Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto. Rea’s best time on the factory Yamaha YZF-R1 was a 1:53.058, and only 13 riders took to the rain-slickened track. Xavi Vierge was second on the factory Honda CBR 1000 RR-R, and Superbike rookie Yari Montella on the Barni Spark Racing Team Ducati Panigale V4 R was third. Andrea Locatelli, Axel Bassani and American Garrett Gerloff crashed, uninjured, in the conditions.
