WSBK Aragon Superbike: Weekend timetables

Antepenultimate round of the WorldSBK world championship, Aragon will see the leader arrive Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) arrive with a lead reduced to 57 points over Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha Prometeon WorldSBK), to talk about the two candidates for the World Superbike race.

There remains a maximum of 186 to be collected, which makes the champion's situation comfortable but not serene, and theoretically does not completely eliminate Jonathan Rhea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK), 3rd in the general classification at 177 points, in the race for the crown.

The MotorLand Aragón circuit will therefore see an explanation where everyone has their own weapons, however with a double advantage for the Spanish Ducati rider: at the rate of points conceded at Magny-Cours (17), his lead is sufficient to double his world title, and he arrives at a track where he has largely dominated in the past, with five victories for Ducati, a podium with Honda in 2020 and a return to victory at the start of 2022.

Faced with these depressing facts, the Turkish Yamaha rider can only achieve four third places and one pole position, and must therefore count on a good dose of luck to perpetuate his incipient comeback, especially since Jonathan Rhea, with nine victories in the Alcañiz desert, will undoubtedly come to play spoilsport among the main pretenders to the throne without any pressure.

Also worth seeing is what the BMWs will do on a difficult circuit for them last year, but where we can clearly see the gradual increase in power, whether with Scott Redding (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team), the leader of the propeller drivers in the standings, but above all with Garrett Gerloff (Bonovo Action BMW) brilliant in France with the first pole of his career and two Top 5s in the long races.

The first responses will come on Friday at the usual time…
