2025 Phillip Island World Superbike FP1 Result: Bulega Leads Four Ducati Charge

By Jared Earle |

Nicolo Bulega led Andrea Iannone, Alvaro Bautista and Danilo Petrucci in an all-Ducati top four, Bulega over a third of a second quicker than Iannone. Dominique Aegerter and Toprak Razgatlioglu, resplendent with the number one plate on his BMW, rounded out the top six with Alex Lowes almost a second off Bulega's best time on the new Kawasaki-powered Bimota.

With the races split in half to save the tyres, riders focussed on short ten lap runs instead of the usual twenty-lap shakedowns.

In your results tables would it be possible to change the Bike column to be a Team/Bike column and if the teams name doesn’t include the brand of bikes they race, just add it e.g. Team Pata Go Eleven/Ducati. To date, I’ve been sort of  half interested in WSBK which has mainly been following a few riders, and their bikes.This would help MotoGP Mutterers like me expand our awareness to the Teams etc in other categories, because I have no idea of the Teams, and their history all of which is very much a part of the racing. Same thing goes for the Moto2 (needs a Team/Frame column) and Moto3 results tables. I look at the Moto2 results and Kalex is the frame to have but I haven’t got a clue who is in which Team and if that riders in a good team or not etc.
