Results from the FP2 session at the UK WorldSBK from Donington Park.

Nicolo Bulega topped the afternoon session at Donington despite a crash which substantially limited his running.

He was 0.181 seconds ahead of fellow Ducati rider Danilo Petrucci in second, while Sam Lowes made it an all-Ducati top-three.

Toprak Razgatlioglu was the best non-Ducati rider in fourth, ahead of Garrett Gerloff who rounded out the top-five.

FP1's fastest rider, Alex Lowes, was sixth-fastest in FP2, ahead of Scott Redding, Ryan Vickers, Andrea Locatelli, and Dominique Aegerter who rounded out the top-10.

Alvaro Bautista was only 11th fastest and 0.597 seconds behind Bulega.

Jonathan Rea's struggles worsened on paper in the afternoon, the Northern Irish rider finishing down in 17th.
