Expanded Detail

Nicolò Bulega set the fastest lap in both Friday practice sessions at Estoril, with his FP2 best of 1:35.432 around the 4.18 km circuit. Alberto Surra, a rookie on a Motocorsa Ducati, was 0.066 seconds behind, and Bulega's teammate Iker Lecuona took third.

Miguel Oliveira, riding a ROKiT BMW, finished fourth at his home round, where Turn 7 is named after him. Danilo Petrucci placed 16th, and American Garrett Gerloff was 10th on a Kawasaki.

Context

The result may boost local interest in the Estoril round, especially with Oliveira running near the front at his home circuit. Portuguese fans and BMW-linked sponsors could see added attention, while Ducati's strong Friday may shape expectations for the weekend. It remains practice, so the wider impact on the championship and audience is uncertain.
