Riders are off on their warm-up lap ahead of Race 2 in Estoril.
It's lights out in Estoril for Race 2. Holeshot for Lecuona once again. Bulega slots into second ahead of Bautista who's started well from the middle of the season row.
Just to divert back to Supersport quickly, there was a crash between Roberto Garcia and Jaume Masia at turn nine in the restart and both have been declared unfit.
Garcia has a right knee sprain and contusion, while Masia has a partial fracture of the second metatarsus in his left foot. Both could be doubts for the final round in Jerez next week.
Riders have arrived on the grid now. We're 15 minutes away from lights out for Race 2.
Pit lane is open in Estoril and the riders are heading out on their sighting lap ahead of the 21-lap Race 2.
It's become pretty cloudy at Estoril this afternoon. 20C air temperature and 32C track temperature, but there's definitely some low, threatening clouds hanging around. Some light drizzle in the Supersport race before the red flag, but the track remains dry for now.
Half-an-hour until the start of Race 2. Here's a look at your starting order.

2026 estoril worldsbk - superpole race result

It's Superpole Race victory for Bulega who takes a record 28th win for the season.
Lecuona takes second and Surra on the podium for the third time in four races thanks to a pass on Oliveira on the final lap at turn three.
Oliveira fourth, then Bautista, Bassani, Vierge, Dixon, and Baldassarri takes the final point in ninth.
Two to go, Bulega still that 1.5s or so ahead of Lecuona.
Surra is closing on Oliveira - 0.5s between them now in the battle for third.
Alex Lowes has been charging, he's up to 11th, but he's probably going to run out of time to get into the top-nine.
Locatelli down at turn seven. He was only 14th anyway, and he looks to be okay. Chantra looks like he got distracted by that and ran in deep himself, although he didn't go down.
Montella wide at turn one, he loses position to Gardner briefly but is back into 15th now.
Bulega almost two seconds clear of Lecuona, who has a second over Oliveira, who is a second ahead of Surra. Still half the race to go, but looks like the podium positions are settled.
Montella takes his long lap, comes out just behind Alex Lowes in P16.
Long lap penalty for Montella for irresponsible riding at the start. Not sure if that's for the contact with Lowes or for the way he swept to the left of the track across the path of Axel Bassani into turn one.
Leucona goes long at turn one and he hands the lead to Bulega. Lecuona rejoins second, maybe unsafe, coming across the path of Oliveira.
Montella 13th after that turn one contact.
Lights are out in Estoril and we're underway for the Superpole Race.
Good start for Lecuona and he makes the holeshot comfortably.
Alex Lowes got squeezed between Oliveira ad Montella. Montella loses out a bit, Lowes is to the back, Oliveira up to third.
Riders are off on their warm-up lap ahead of the 10-lap Superpole Race.

10 minutes to go until lights out in Estoril. Cooler conditions than we've seen before during this weekend. Currently 19C air temperature and 23C track temperature. Quite cloudy as well.
Alberto Surra completed the podium yesterday. The Italian admitted afterwards that trying to beat the factory Ducatis to race wins is still out of reach, but he's hopeful of taking more podiums before the season is finished.
