Lap times as of 17:00 local time from the Portimao WorldSBK test at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve.

It was yet another wet test day for World Superbike in Portimao. Nicolo Bulega ended the morning fastest on a 1:59.144, 0.6 seconds ahead of Iker Lecuona. The two factory Ducati riders were the only ones to lap below the 2:00 mark on Thursday morning.

Jake Dixon was third-fastest on his primary bike and fourth-fastest with his number two bikes. WorldSBK rookie Alberto Surra completed the top-five.

With this test, the European leg of the preseason is over for WorldSBK in 2026. The field will next be on-track together at Phillip Island on 16-17 February for the final test of the winter before the Australian Round starts the season-proper on 20-22 February.
