Starting grid for Jerez World Superbike finale after controversial Bulega/Razgatlioglu clash
Starting grid for 2025 World Superbike finale

Nicolo Bulega will start on pole for the 2025 World Superbike title showdown at Jerez after a controversial tangle with championship leader Toprak Razgatlioglu.
The Turkish rider had a chance to wrap up the 2025 title - his third in World Superbike - in the Superpole race.
But an early tangle between the pair when Nicolo Bulega went for a move on the BMW rider’s inside at Turn 5 took Toprak Razgatlioglu out of the race.
Bulega was handed a long lap penalty for the clash, but the Ducati rider overcame this to seal a crucial victory to keep his title hopes alive.
Heading into the final race on Sunday at Jerez, Bulega has closed Razgatlioglu’s lead to 22 points in the standings.
Bulega’s Superpole Race win means he will start from pole, while Razgatlioglu will have to go from 10th on the grid. If the result of the race finishes like that, the latter would still be world champion.
The Race 2 grid will now not feature Jonathan Rea, as the six-time World Champion has been declared unfit after his Superpole Race clash with Remy Gardner.
