FP1

FP1 at the Emilia-Romagna WorldSBK was topped by Toprak Razgatlioglu, who beat Nicolo Bulega to the top spot by 0.226 seconds.

It was a largely uneventful session for the frontrunners, bar a run-on at the first chicane for Razgatlioglu when he lost the front due to some significant chatter.

For others, there were more notable moments, including for Bahattin Sofuoglu who crashed twice - first at turn one, then at the penultimate corner just as the chequered flag came out.

Michael van der Mark also had a crash at turn one, and several other moments there.

Jonathan Rea had a technical issue early on and was only able to emerge from the pits in the final moments of the session to set the 14th-fastest lap of the session. 

Rea's lap was one of many to be cancelled as a result of the yellow flags for Sofuoglu's penultimate turn crash, though, the the Northern Irish rider ended in 17th.

Alvaro Bautista had decent pace in FP1, setting the third-fastest time, ahead of Remy Gardner who was three-tenths slower than the Spaniard in fourth.

Danilo Petrucci completed the top-five, ahead of Axel Bassani, Iker Lecuona, Sam Lowes, Dominique Aegerter, and Andrea Locatelli who rounded out the top-10.
