2025 Phillip Island World Superbike Day 2 Results: Bulega Leads A Ducati Clean Sweep

By David Emmett |

Nicolo Bulega leaves preseason testing for the WorldSBK class very much in control. The Aruba.it Ducati rider topped both days of testing at Phillip Island with a comfortable lead over the competition, lapping consistently in the 1'29s, promising much for the race.

Behind Bulega are a brace of former MotoGP riders, Andrea Iannone just a fraction faster than Danilo Petrucci, making it a Ducati top three. Reigning world champion Toprak Razgatlioglu ended the day as fourth fastest, the second day of the test luckily less eventful than the first. Alvaro Bautista  was fifth quickest on the second factory Ducati, ending just ahead of the Yamaha of Andrea Locatelli - Pata Yamaha teammate Jonathan Rea has been ruled out of the first round through injury - and the two Bimotas of Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani.

The teams and riders now have two days off before battle commences for real at the opening round of WorldSBK at Phillip Island.
