The Kawasakis lead the way after the first day of the official World Supersport test at Phillip Island, with Fabien Foret already closing in on his race lap record of 1'34.941 set last year. Foret finished a quarter of a second ahead of former WSS champion Kenan Sofuoglu, returning to the series after an unsuccessful foray into Moto2 in 2011. Ten Kate Honda's Broc Parkes was fastest in the afternoon session, but the Australian was unable to beat the outright times of the Kawasakis, falling just short of Sofuoglu's time, while Bodganka PTR's Sam Lowes ended both sessions a quarter of a second off the time of Parkes, and nearly half a second ahead of another Moto2 refugee, Jules Cluzel.
Testing continues tomorrow.
