Our World Supersport riders only had 15 minutes to come to grips with a damp and drying track in the final Tissot Superpole of the 2022 Championship. In a session that had many talking points, you didn’t know where to look.

The sun has set on the final day of Friday Free Practice for the 2022 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, and things got a bit heated towards the later stages of FP2!

Friday Free Practice has concluded at the Grand Ridge Brewery Australian Round and it was Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team rider Nicolo Bulega who topped the combined standings. Bulega managed to pip Frederico Caricasulo’s best time by a marginal 0.040 seconds after the two 45-minute practice sessions.

It was Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) who put in the fastest lap of the opening session. Rea put together his fastest lap when it mattered, finding 2 tenths to cross the line with a 1:31.284, just 0.022 seconds clear of Bautista.

While the 2022 World Supersport Champion Dominique Aegerter was looking somewhat untouchable in FP1, it was ultimately Althea Racing’s Frederico Caricasulo who lead the way with 1 minute remaining.

The 2022 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship is coming to a close this weekend, but riders are just starting to rev up for what is set to be a fire-cracking season finale at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit this weekend, 18th – 20th November.
