Nicolo Bulega continued his impressive form at Magny-Cours by setting the fastest time in Warm Up. The Aruba.it Racing Ducati rider led the field ahead of Sunday's two races, sending a clear warning to his rivals.
With a best lap of 1 minute 35.506 seconds, Nicolo Bulega edged out teammate Iker Lecuona by a narrow margin. Sam Lowes and Yari Montella completed the top four, all lapping in the 1m35s bracket.
Tight Battle at the Sharp End
Alex Lowes was the fastest of the chasing pack in fifth place, just half a second adrift. Alberto Surra, Lorenzo Baldassarri, Axel Bassani, Remy Gardner, and Garrett Gerloff rounded out the top ten.
This session served as the final warm-up before the two races on Sunday. With track conditions rapidly improving, a fierce battle is expected, especially among the Ducati riders who dominated the top positions.
Confidence Boost Ahead of Race Day
The result gives Bulega extra confidence, but his advantage is far from safe. Lecuona and Lowes are lurking with very small gaps.
With the right tyre strategy and a clean start, the podium doors are wide open for anyone in the front pack in both Race 1 and the Superpole Race.
