2026 Aragon WorldSBK Friday Practice Results: Lecuona top despite FP2 crash

Results from the opening practice session at the 2026 Aragon WorldSBK round from MotorLand, the sixth round of 2026.

Iker Lecuona topped FP2 in Aragon, finishing ahead of Sam Lowes and Nicolo Bulega despite a late crash for the Spaniard at turn eight.

Axel Bassani was fourth-fastest and the leading non-Ducati for Bimota. The second non-Ducati, Garrett Gerloff in seventh, was also the last rider to lap in the 1m49s in FP2.

Alvaro Bautista finished sixth after passing his post-FP1 medical check. Jake Dixon also passed his and finished FP2 12th, two places ahead of team-mate Somkiat Chantra.

FP1 in Aragon was red flagged after the first 12 minutes when Jake Dixon, making his first appearance of the season this weekend, crashed at turn 12. He was okay after the crash and ended the session 17th, but his bike flipped off the outside kerb and tore its front wheel out.

The red flag was a reprieve of sorts for Sam Lowes, who had crashed on his first flying lap. He finished fifth in the end, but encountered more issues at the end of the session.
