Transcript from our live page that was updated throughout the session

  • Colin Edwards putting a fast one in again, under at both splits, there it is, a 1m32.820
  • Edwards back out again
  • Bayliss on another quick one, much faster through the first sector but lost a little in the 2nd sector, makes up a little in the 3rd, the result a 1m32.984, still not quite as fast as Edwards
  • 3 minutes remain
  • Edwards in the pits
  • Xaus 3rd now, 1m33.196
  • Edwards to the top now, 1m32.933
  • Bostrom up to 3rd, 1m33.491.  His bike is running through the speed trap at 309kph, he is still the only one running speeds over 300kph, hold it, I tell a lie, Haga has run 302
  • 6 minutes remaining in this session
  • Bayliss shoots to the top with a 1m33.021
  • Chili down but okay
  • Bayliss on a fast one
  • Quite a few riders coming in now, Edwards still going round and round though at a sustained and very fast pace
  • Xaus crashed but is okay
  • Bayliss down to a 1m33.792 now.  It seems everyone is out doing laps 
  • Izutsu crashed but is okay
  • Bayliss has decided to start trying now, 2nd quickest with a 1m33.810
  • Ben Bostrom once again running by far the highest top speeds, 306kph so far in this session, no other rider is cracking 300
  • Colin Edwards just backed that last one up with 1m33.4
  • Edwards recorded a 1m33.339 on that one, Edwards must be on race tyres and no qualifier doing these times as he has done many laps
  • Edwards just put in a quick one, 1m33.428 and is on another fast one.  Xaus now 2nd quickest
  • Everything remains the same, everybody just circulating, presumably tyre testing
  • Bayliss and Haga down to 1m33s now also, but Edwards is still fastest
  • Edwards is doing some fast times in succession 1m33.9, then 1m33.7 followed by a 1m33.5
  • The boys on track now and Edwards straight in to the 1m33s
  • World SuperBikes are on track next for their final practice prior to SuperPole
