After topping all the tests here, Bulega adds both Friday sessions to his belt, ending the day over four tenths ahead of the rest of the field, Andrea Iannone was second quickest ahead of Toprak Razgatlioglu, but Razgatlioglu's second session was not as quick as those of Alvaro Bautista and Danilo Petrucci who ended the day third and fourth quickest overall.

Comments

Toprak was not a happy camper after the first day.

Hope it won't turn into a Ducati sausage fest season. We've had enough of that in MotoGP last year.

Have the technical rulemakers bowed too much to the might of Ducati ?

I suspect Toprak is laying it on thick when talking about his troubles, he must surely be sick of the rules favouring Ducati after those years on the Yamaha, then when he gets a bike to complete with the V4 R, the next year the rules are adjusted again and low and behold Ducati have a (big?) advatange again.

I wouldn't read too much into what happens at Phillip Island though, a historically weaker track for Toprak and BMW. When he gets comfortable on the non-concession chassis I'm sure he'll be up there again winning races. 

Would be a shame if he is the only rider who can take it to the Ducati's this year though.
