The appointment is for 14:45 local time, when in Italy it will be 15:45: at that time the SBK Superpole will start in Portimao. It promises to be a scorching session with temperatures over 30 degrees and the asphalt exceeding 40 degrees.
In FP3 Petrucci proved to be the best again, setting the session’s best time of 1’40”316. The Barni rider got the better of Alex Lowes by 254 thousandths, while Bautista was third, 260 thousandths from the top.
Fourth time instead for Toprak, hunted by van der Mark and Lecuona with Bulega seventh and Rea eighth. Iannone did not go beyond the 13th time, 17th instead Rinaldi followed by Bassani.
We will now see what happens in qualifying.
