Barry Baltus and new Fantic team-mate Tony Arbolino finished one-two on the timesheets during Tuesday’s private Moto2 and Moto3 testing at Jerez.
Baltus, who finished third in this year’s Moto2 World Championship behind Diogo Moreira and Manuel Gonzalez, was the only rider to break the 1m 40s barrier during a mammoth 76 laps.
Arbolino, who arrives from the Pramac to take over the seat vacated by new Marc VDS signing Aron Canet, was just 0.265s slower on his return to a Kalex chassis.
Jorge Navarro was a surprise third for Forward - having reportedly lapped even faster the previous day.
Rookie Angel Piqueras (MSI) and Albert Arenas, replacing the injured Joe Roberts at American Racing, completed the Tuesday top four.
New Boscoscuro riders Luca Lunetta (SpeedRS) and Alberto Ferrández (Pramac) were sixth and seventh, ahead of Iván Ortola and another rookie, Taiyo Furusato.
Joel Kelso was the quickest of the Moto3 riders on his MLav debut, edging out Adrián Cruces (CIP).
World Superbike riders join the Jerez test action from Wednesday.
