Description
The final morning track time at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit serves as the ultimate litmus test for the Supersport field before the season's second feature race. The primary challenge for the 22-rider grid is the unpredictable Victorian weather, which often brings cooler air temperatures and stronger coastal gusts that can unsettled the middleweight machines through the high-speed "Stoner Corner." The objective for the teams is to finalize the tire choice for the 18-lap distance, balancing the need for immediate grip with the durability required for the abrasive asphalt.
Strategically, the 10-minute session is a high-speed verification process. The goal for Jaume Masia is to ensure the electronic maps on his Orelac Racing VerdNatura Ducati remain optimized for the changing wind conditions. The tactical focus for the AS BLU CRU Yamaha squad is to find a setup that allows Albert Arenas and Aldi Mahendra to maximize their slipstream efficiency on the 900-meter Gardner Straight. With a mix of rookies and veterans all seeking a final mental edge, the ultimate goal is to complete the session with a clear understanding of the track's limits before the season-opening weekend concludes.

Result Description
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.
