Australian Round Warm Up 2

Jaume Masia completed his clean sweep of the weekend's timed sessions on Sunday morning, February 22, 2026. Masia’s objective was to replicate his Race 1 rhythm, and he delivered a 1:32.488 to top the timesheets once again.

His performance on the Ducati Panigale V2 remained the class of the field, showing a consistent pace that few could match in the crisp morning conditions. The chasing pack showed signs of closing the gap, with Philipp Oettl securing the second-fastest time, just 0.124 seconds behind the Spaniard.

Local favorite Oli Bayliss delighted the home fans by finishing third, demonstrating that his Triumph package is perfectly suited to the sweeping curves of his home track. Albert Arenas and Can Öncü rounded out the top five, both within half a second of the leader.

The session was remarkably clean as riders prepared for a Race 2 that would eventually be defined by chaotic weather transitions, but for ten minutes on Sunday morning, the status quo of Masia's dominance remained firmly in place.
