Despite narrowly missing out on topping the two-day test outright, second place overall marks a significant statement from Bayliss as he enters his fifth season in the World Supersport Championship.
Much like Day 1, the pace at the top was controlled by Ducati machinery. Nicolò Bulega, Axel Bassani and Sam Lowes were consistently inside the leading positions across the four two-hour sessions, establishing themselves as early reference points for the 2026 campaign.
One of the standout performers was Australian Oli Bayliss [PTR Triumph Factory Racing]. He finished both FP1 and FP2 inside the top three, and his 1’32.885 set in the morning session secured him second fastest overall for the day, placing him firmly among the early contenders.
