The Airwaves Ducati riders completed their first two practice sessions of the 2007 Bennetts British Superbike season today, at the 2.6 mile Brands Hatch GP circuit. Both riders achieved their fastest times in the second of the two 50 minute sessions; Gregorio Lavilla recorded a best of 1:26.605 with Leon Haslam 0.242 seconds behind with a time of 1:26.847.
With the sun shining and an air temperature of 19 degrees, Greg held the lead for the majority of first practice. He was the first competitor to record a sub 1 minute 27 second lap before improving this further with a lap of 1:26.739. This looked to have secured him the top spot until Jonathan Rea went 0.458 seconds quicker in the final minute of the session pushing Greg down to 2nd place. Leon s best time also came in the closing minutes when he recorded a 1:27.771 to finish in 9th.
