The French Superbike Championship (FSBK) continues its 2025 season on the legendary Nevers Magny-Cours circuit, in Nièvre, from June 20 to 22. Organized by the Motorcycle Club of Nevers and Nièvre With the support of the French Motorcycling Federation, this fourth round will bring together more than 200 riders, determined to offer another weekend of intense and spectacular races.
SUPERBIKE: FORAY UNAREATABLE?
Kenny FORAY (Tecmas BMW Motorrad France – Michelin), undefeated since the championship began, has emerged as the strong man of this edition. With six wins in as many races, the defending champion has shown impressive consistency and already has a 61-point lead over his closest rival, Hugo CLERE (Tati Team AVA6 Racing – Pirelli), who is a solid second after two podium finishes at Nogaro.
Behind, Alan TECHER (Dafy-RAC41-Honda – Michelin) made a remarkable comeback. Struggling at the start of the season, he managed to get into contact with the reigning champion during the final stage, proving that he will be a force to be reckoned with in the race for the podium.
The younger generation of Superbike riders is not to be outdone. Enzo DE LA VEGA (Yamaha Team CMS – Pirelli) and Loris CRESSON (Tecmas BMW Motorrad France – Michelin) are already establishing themselves as serious contenders, while experienced figures like Grégory LEBLANC (Ducati Team TWR – Pirelli), TECHER and Mathieu GINES (Yamaha Team Relou – Michelin) continue their quest for performance.
In the Challenger category, DE LA VEGA also dominates, ahead of Roméo MICHAUD (Honda Tati Team AVA6 Racing – Pirelli) and Kilian AEBI (Suzuki Junior Team LMS – Pirelli). The high pace and homogeneity of the field, however, suggest many twists and turns in the coming rounds.
A CLOSE CHAMPIONSHIP AT ALL LEVELS
The suspense is also there in Supersport 600.
Alexy NEGRIER (Triumph Team B2S – Michelin), the reigning runner-up, has reclaimed the lead in the provisional standings, closely followed by Bartholomé PERRIN (Yamaha DMT Racing – Pirelli), just one point behind. Diego PONCET (Honda Martin Garage-RAC41 – Pirelli) completes the top three, while Gabin CAZARD (Yamaha Team CMS – Michelin), in fourth, is closing in dangerously, showing a strong rise in power.
Leader of Yamaha Challenge SSP 700, Gabin CAZARD (Yamaha – Michelin) will have to defend his position against Benjamin CAILLET (Yamaha – Michelin), who is progressing, and Jules BERCOT (Yamaha FT Racing Academy – Michelin), determined to make up for his two blank results recorded in the Gers.
En Grand Prix objective by Motul, Nolann MACARY (Honda KF78 Académie – Pirelli) retains the reins of the classification, despite the constant pressure exerted by Gabriel PIO (Honda BRS – Pirelli) author of two victories in the Gers and Esteban NEIL (Honda Tati Team AVA6 Racing – Pirelli).
En Motorcycle 4, Léandre MARTINEZ (Beon BRS – Pirelli) remains in the lead, but sees Milan ENJOLRAS (Beon Tati Team AVA6 Racing – Pirelli) and Jacques CARPENTIER (Beon TFC Racing – Pirelli) come back into his rearview mirrors. In Maround 5, Juliann DE GOL (Erdog DMT Racing – Pirelli) regains provisional first place, taking advantage of the poor performance of Teddy BERTHELOT (MIR Team Berry Performance – Pirelli), now third behind Dario BARALE (MIR – Pirelli), 2nd, who has made a good comeback.
In Side Car, the PEUGEOT/PEUGEOT duo continues to surprise with their F2. Still leading the standings, they are widening the gap to VINET/VINET, who are now 21 points behind. However, the demanding Magny-Cours circuit could reshuffle the cards.
