Axel Bassani took the brand-new Kawasaki-powered Bimota KB998 to the quickest time on Day Two of the first postseason Superbike World Championship test.

On Pirelli spec tires, Bassani and BbKRT teammate Alex Lowes were 1-2, with their quickest laps coming right at the end of the day, when temperatures were cooler and the track was fully rubbered in after five days of racing and testing. Still, Bassani’s time was a 1:38.478, just three-tenths slower than factory Ducati rider Nicolo Bulega’s time attack lap of 1:38.142 set yesterday.

American Garrett Gerloff was third with a 1:39.229 on his new Puccetti Racing Kawasaki ZX-10RR. Team owner Manuel Puccetti said the machine Gerloff was riding had a 2024 engine with “many new parts inside.”

Honda’s Xavi Vierge was fourth, ahead of two-time World Champion Alvaro Bautista, who was fifth after a shortened Day Two for the Ducati rider.
