Nicolo Bulega once again showcased his pace at the Magny-Cours circuit. The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati rider topped the third free practice session (FP3) of the WorldSBK Acerbis French Round on Saturday morning with a time of 1'34.987.
Bulega was the only rider to break the 1 minute 35 seconds barrier. He edged out Garrett Gerloff, who pushed his Kawasaki ZX-10RR to second place, while teammate Iker Lecuona completed the top three.
Intense Battle in a Heated Session
The session, lasting about twenty minutes, was highly competitive. Bulega briefly lost the top spot after Lorenzo Baldassarri and Lecuona took turns leading, before he struck back with his fastest lap midway through the session.
Gerloff had to settle for second, 0.334 seconds behind Bulega. Lecuona clocked a 1'35.425, ensuring two Ducati Panigale V4Rs in the top three.
Surprise from the Midfield
Tommy Bridewell was the surprise package in fourth, ahead of Yari Montella. This result placed four Ducati Panigale V4Rs in the top five of the session.
Sam Lowes briefly triggered a yellow flag after a crash at Turn 15, but he managed to continue and finished the session in seventh. Meanwhile, Yamaha rider Bahattin Sofuoglu will miss the rest of the weekend after suffering a concussion from a crash on Friday.
