Kenan Sofuoglu has laid down another marker in the second and final WorldSSP test session ahead of the first Round of the season. Setting his fastest lap in the final session, the Turkish rider managed a 1’33.786, keeping himself 0.669 seconds clear of nearest challenger Lorenzo Zanetti. The third fastest in the final session was Sofuoglu´s teammate Randy Krummenacher, who was fastest on Day 1, ahead of Wahr and Baldolini. Jules Cluzel, although finishing the day in third on the combined times, ended FP2 in eighth position.

Red flags and rain again interrupted proceedings, with big crashes for Jezek and Stapleford. The test sessions for both WorldSBK and WorldSSP at Phillip Island have seen high rates of attrition and injury, with several riders finding themselves in doubt for the first races of the season.

Sofuoglu however seems to have found a consistent margin above the pace of his rivals, with the 4 time Champion looking supremely confident on the final approach to the first round of the WorldSSP Championship this weekend.
