• GALLERY: Rea on ꧂a Yamaha, Iannone on a Ducat😼i, Bassani at Kawasaki...

Tuesday's test in Jerez was the first time we saw some of W🌌orldSBK's major riders on their 2024 bikes, wearing their new colours.

Jonathan Rea was testing his Yamaha, Andrea Iannone was back in action on a Ducati, Axel Bassani was a factory rider ꧃for the first time...

Toprꦑak Razgatlioglu was notably not testꦅing his 2024 BMW because Yamaha insist he must "respect" a contract that runs until the end of November.

Rain curtailed the first of two days of tes𒉰ting in Jerez, meaning the morning's results became final.

Remy Gardner went fastest, clocki🔜ng t🔥he sole 1’39s lap as rain began to fall.

Jonathan Rea cra🎃shed his Yamaha for the first time at Turn 13 when he touched a wet patch. But, he was still able to go fourth-fastest on his debut with his new machine.

Alvaro Bautista crashed, bringing🀅 out red ✅flags briefly, at Turn 13 too. He was okay and his bike was pushed back to the pits.

MotoGP test riders were also in action on Tuesday at Jerez - Michele Pirro (Ducati)🏅, Lorenzo Sava๊dori (Aprilia) and Stefan Bradl (Honda).
