The World Superbike riders were back on track for the opening day of a two-day test in Portimao.

Toprak Razgatlioglu led the way by 0.6 seconds at the end of the first day of the Portimao World Superbike Test. The Turkish rider was threatening to quit the series after the opening round but was back on top of the timesheets in Europe.

Nicolo Bulega dominated the opening weekend in Phillip Island and won all three races. But he was in second on Day One of the Portimao Test.

The top Yamaha was Andrea Locatelli at Portimao, this will be promising for the Japanese manufacturer after a disappointing opening round. The Italian was also in tenth place on his other Yamaha R1.

Honda also had a promising day with Xavi Vierge as the Spaniard ended up in fourth place.

Barni Spark Racing Team rider, Danilo Petrucci was in fifth place on his Ducati Panigale V4 R.

GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK rider, Remy Gardner, was inside the top ten twice on his Yamaha R1. The Australian finished the day in sixth and eighth place on his two bikes.

The top bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team rider was Alex Lowes who was 0.8 seconds behind Razgatlioglu but ended the day in seventh.

Axel Bassani was in ninth place on the KB998 Rimini and was 1.1 seconds behind Razgatlioglu's best lap time.
