2022 FIM Superbike World Championship
Round 11 – Indonesia
A late charge up the order at the end of FP2 saw Alvaro Bautista take top spot after day one at Mandalika. The Championship leader, who can clinch the title in Race 1, bolted in a 1’33.626 on his penultimate flying lap to claim a 0.462s advantage over the next rider.
Bautista was the first of four Ducati riders inside the top nine places, making it a strong day for the Italian manufacturer, who also recorded a 1-2-3 on Friday in World Supersport.
Team-mate Michael Ruben Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) was third and enjoyed a positive first day of action in Indonesia. Ducati can likewise clinch the manufacturers’ Championship this weekend and with strong race pace and one-lap pace, with them featuring at least once in the top three of all the sectors, it could be a strong weekend for the Italian manufacturer.
Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK) was in fine form as he laid down the gauntlet and had a comfortable three-tenths of a second advantage over his rivals for much of the afternoon running before Bautista banged in a late one to claim P1.
Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) did the double here in 2021 and started proceedings at Mandalika this year in P4.
It was a mixed day for the factory Honda outfit in Indonesia; a second red-flag came out after a huge highside for Iker Lecuona (Team HRC). The Spaniard lost the rear as he made the direction change from right to left at Turn 3, flinging him into the air and him landing heavily on his right leg. After being down for some time, the Valencian rookie – who is at Mandalika for the first time in his career – was able to walk away, albeit aided by trackside marshals; he was taken to the Medical Centre for a check-up and finished the day in P14. Team-mate Xavi Vierge had a far better afternoon and made bigger gains throughout the session, placing in P8 at the end.
There were three Independent riders inside the top ten, the first of which was American rider Garrett Gerloff (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team).
