TGPOne SBK Phillip Island: Bulega gets great start, Rea stops immediately

Nicolò Bulega got off to a great start on the first day of SBK testing at Phillip Island, the track that will also host the first round of the SBK World Championship this weekend. The Ducati rider placed the paw by trimming half a second from Andrea Iannone, first of the pursuers and capac e to also precede Toprak Razgatlioglu. The Turk also ran into a bad flight in the morning, fortunately without consequences.

Consequences that instead there were, and very heavy, for Jonathan Rea, who just can not get into gear since he landed in Yamaha and will be forced to skip the tests and also the first round of the world championship for the ankle injury. Danilo Petrucci finished third ahead of Alvaro Bautista, with four Ducatis in the top five. Our correspondent Riccardo Guglielmetti tells us all about how this day of testing went.
