The second session of free practice for the World Supersport class saw the same four names dominate the timesheets. The Ten Kate Honda riders took an early lead, but by the end of the session Michele Pirro had been forced to allow Parkalgar Honda’s Eugene Laverty and Motocard.com Kawasaki’s Joan Lascorz ahead of him, the Italian dropping to 4th. Kenan Sofuoglu held on to his place at the top of the timesheets, but the gaps between the top 4 are minimal.
Further back, Japanese veteran Katsuaki Fujiwara took 5th place, ahead of a gaggle of Triumphs, with Chaz Davies beating out ParkinGO teammate Jason DiSalvo, who was fractionally faster than Matthieu Lagrive, taking the place of the retired Sebastien Charpentier.
