Niccolò Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) completed a race-winning treble at the final round of the WorldSBK championship but by finishing in a controlled and professional third place, Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) won his third WorldSBK title, and his second in succession for BMW.
Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) was second in the final race of his factory Ducati career, but Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha) had no fairy tale goodbye in Yamaha’s traditional red, white and black colours, as his race one fall and knee injury prevented him from racing on Sunday afternoon.
Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) was a white, red and black retro streak in fourth place in Race Two, while Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) had a happy farewell in Honda colours after finishing fifth in the second long Jerez race.
Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) was sixth, Andrea Iannone (Team Pata Go Eleven Ducati) seventh and Tarran Mackenzie (MGM BONOVO Racing Ducati) eighth.

WorldSBK Superpole Race
As expected by almost everyone Niccolò Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) won the first Sunday race at the Jerez championship finale, but the circumstances came straight out of a Hollywood movie.
Two corners after Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha) and Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) had tangled and fell at T3 on lap one, Bulega took an inside line at T5, and hit the side of race leader Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) at a shallow angle.
At full lean, it was enough to knock Razgatlioglu off and change the championship landscape significantly.
Bulega went on to win the race, by over four seconds from second placed Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) and third placed Andrea Iannone (Team Pata Go Eleven Ducati) – making a Ducati clean sweep.
Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) was fourth, winning a tight fight with Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team).
Sixth was the factory Yamaha of Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) and a close seventh the privateer Ducati of Tarran Mackenzie (MGM BONOVO Racing Ducati).
Iker Lecuona (Honda HRC) was eighth, Michael van der Mark (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) eighth and Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) tenth.
Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) was 17th.
All eyes on what will be a true season finale at Jerez on Sunday afternoon, now that the gap between Razgatlioglu and Bulega is down to 22 points, with 25 up for grabs.

WorldSSP Race Two
A fight for overall third place in the championship table, between proven race winners Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura Ducati) and Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing), went the way of the Spanish rider. He won the final race of 2025, with Booth-Amos 3.255 seconds behind at the flag.
Third position at Jerez was taken by new champion Stefano Manzi (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) who was just 0.007 seconds behind Booth Amos after 17 laps.
Can Öncü (Yamaha bLU cRU Evan Bros Racing) ended his strong 2025 season with a fourth place finish, heading up a big group of battling riders.

Filippo Farioli (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) and the new model of QJ ridden by Rafaelle De Rosa (QJ Motor Factory Racing) completed the top ten.
In the final championship points, Manzi has 446, Öncü 372, Masia 265 and Booth-Amos 262. Oli Bayliss finished his Eason for the PTR Triumph squad in 14th place overall.

WorldSBK Race One
Whatever happens on the final day of the 2025 WorldSBK championship, the title fight itself will most definitely go to that final day at Jerez, after Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) had a convincing start-to-finish ride to take the Race One win.
Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) was involved in some front-running fights, with a certain Andrea Iannone (Team Pata Go Eleven Ducati).
It took some time for the lead BMW rider to shake loose the yellow Ducati, and by then Nicolo was stretching out his leading advantage. He would win from Toprak by 3.7 seconds.
In an eventual third place, Álvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) had to work hard to pass other riders to get into a podium-capable position. He had to have two goes at making his passes stick on Iannone, but eventually got the job done. He was almost ten seconds from his team-mate in the end, but took another important podium for his chances of finishing an overall top three in the championship.
Iannone was fourth, but that position could have well been taken by Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC), had he not lost some time in one corner after passing Iannone with a handful of laps to go.
Alex Lowes (Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) was eying up a podium place at one time but when Bautista came past on the straight – on both him and Vierge in the one pass – Lowes lost two places he would not get back.
Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) had an eventually lonely ride to seventh.
Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) kept enough late pace to prevent the upwardly mobile Tarran Mackenzie (MGM BONOVO Racing Ducati) from taking eighth place off of him right at the end.
Michael van der Mark (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) got the better of Axel Bassani (Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) to take tenth place.
Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha) fell at T5, without injury, while occupying a strong early position.
A gap of 34 points separate Razgatlioglu and Bulega at the top of the table, with the ten-lap Sprint Race and then a final long Race Two to come on Sunday.
Unless something really bizarre happens, the title fight should really come to an end on Sunday morning.

WorldWCR Race One
Maria Herrera (Klint Forward Racing Team) would – finally – be adjudged the winner of the opening Jerez race, but it took a red flag, a mistake from her main championship rival and then a drop of three positions from the ‘race winner’ who was first across the finish line for Herrera to take full points.
In a nine-lap race, not the planned ten, a red flag for a problem with the starting procedure made the tension all the higher ahead of the final race start.
Beatriz Neila (Ampito Crescent Yamaha) looked on course to be in the lead on the final lap but she ran wide and dropped three places across the line, before being promoted one place in the final results.
Local rider Paola Ramos (YVS Sabadell) was the initial ‘winner’ across the line, with Herrera second and Chloe Jones (GR Motorsport) third.
After Ramos was demoted in the post-race official results, however, for exceeding track limits on the final lap. Herrera won, Jones was second and the still luckless Neila third.
With Ramos fourth, in the fight for fifth place a three rider final duel saw Roberta Ponziani (Klint Forward Racing Team), Lucie Boudesseul (GMT94-YAMAHA) and Australian rider Tayla Relph (TAYCO Motorsports) saw them finish in that order.
Pakita Ruiz (PR46+1 Racing Team), Sara Sanchez (Terra & Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team) and Natalia Rivera (Terra & Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team) completed the top ten.
In the championship standings, Herrera now commands a 15 point lead over Neila, with Jones up to third place.
One race left in the year, the title-decider, on Sunday 19 October.

WorldSSP Race One
New WorldSSP Champion Stefano Manzi (Ten Kate Racing Yamaha) looked like he had been beaten by the remarkable turnaround in fortunes of Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) and the new-for-2025 Ninja ZX-6R 636.
A hard but fair inside pass, one that pushed Alcoba wide and allowed Manzi the inside line to the finish line, was enough for Manzi to win by just 0.051 seconds. It was Manzi’s 11th win of the year.
Alcoba, sometimes nowhere this year but now a double podium finisher after his first top three last time out in Estoril had his best single race result yet in second place.
Can Öncü (Yamaha bLU cRU Evan Bros Racing) was finally third, after Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura Ducati) was dropped one position for exceeding track limits on the final lap.
Masia was still ranked just 0.400 seconds from the winner, in what was a brilliantly close race inside the top places yet again.
Fifth was Italian charger, Alberto Surra (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team), with pole sitter Mattia Casadei (Motozoo ME air racing MV Agusta) sixth.
Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) was seventh and Philipp Öttl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team Ducati) eighth.
Valentin Debise (Renzi Corse Ducati) and Roberto Garcia (GMT94-Yamaha) completed the top ten, but Lucas Mahias (GMT94-Yamaha) broke his wrist after crashing, and will miss Race Two. Oli Bayliss (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) retired with a technical issue.

WorldSBK Superpole
Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) stamped his name at the top of the Superpole Qualifying timesheets with a new track best of 1’36.629, taking his ninth career pole and the fifth of 2025.
The previous track best, also from Bulega, was a 1’37.596 – almost a second slower than the previous best pace of the only rider who can deny Toprak Razgatlioglu the 2025 riders’ championship this year.
Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) was second fastest, albeit over a second from Bulega, while the still-injured Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team Ducati) was a stunning third fastest, although 0.972 seconds from Bulega.
Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) was fourth quickest, very close in lap time to his brother, with Andrea Iannone (Team Pata Go Eleven Ducati) in fifth place and Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) sixth.
In his last ever Superpole qualifying session before his retirement from full-time WorldSBK racing, Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha) placed seventh with Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) eighth and the second factory Yamaha of Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) tenth. Independent rider Tarran Mackenzie (MGM BONOVO Racing Ducati) was 11th; Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) 15th and Bobby Fong (Attack Performance Yamaha Racing) 24th from 25 riders.

Friday WorldSBK
A dramatic moment in FP2 at the championship-decider in Jerez saw Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) hit technical issues of some kind, get the black-flag-with-orange-disc order to stop, and eventually limp back to near the pits before walking his bike back to pitlane.
He had a moment exiting T1, with Andrea Iannone indication to him that he had a problem. It turned out to be a water leak, easily fixed, and he went back out in the session again.
He had earlier set the fastest lap of the two Free Practice sessions, heading up Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team). Razgatliglu said he had little grip, in the corners or exiting them – in the hotter second session – and thus could not capitalises on his rival Bulega’s short term misfortune.
Third quickest overall was Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team Ducati), who missed the recent Estoril round with a chest injury.
Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) crashed early in FP2 but still ended his day fourth quickest, displacing Andrea Iannone (Team Pata Go Eleven Ducati) to fifth.
Top bimota rider was Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team), in sixth, with a much-improved Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team Ducati) seventh, ahead of another Ducati privateer, Ryan Vickers (Motocorsa Racing Ducati).
Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) placed ninth and the soon-to-retire Michael van der Mark (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) completed the top ten.

Mattia Casadei (Motozoo ME air racing MV Agusta) took his second career pole position in WorldSSP at Jerez. In hot conditions, he was fully 0.346 seconds ahead of second fastest rider Can Öncü (Yamaha bLU cRU Evan Bros Racing), who was in turn only just ahead of a slew of closely-packed riders.
It took until 22nd place on the timesheets before any rider finished more than a second from the top Yamaha rider of the day, Öncü, in second position overall.
Top Ducati runner was Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura Ducati) in third, with Philipp Öttl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team Ducati) fourth and Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) fifth.
