It is because nothing is ever written in advance in motorsports that the 2025 Superbike final in Jerez promises to be rich in emotions, even if Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) is on the verge of winning its third title World SBK !
With 580 points and a comfortable lead of 39 points over a
Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.It Racing – Ducati) who never gives up and fights until the end, the Turkish rider has the opportunity to seal his victory in race 1 of the Pirelli Spanish Round.
However, with his victory in Race 2 at Estoril, the Italian remains determined to extend his title chase and will seek to prove once again that he is a formidable competitor in WorldSBK.
With three podiums in Estoril, Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.It Racing – Ducati) has moved back into the top 3 of the standings. Only 8 points separate him fromAndrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha), which is also aiming for a place in the top 3 of the championship.
After being declared unfit during the Estoril round, Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) dropped to 5th place in the standings, but its consistent season has already earned it the title of best independent driver for 2025.
