October 2025 Jerez WorldSBK Test Results: Nicolo Bulega ends first 2026 test on top
Full results from the second day of the October 2025 Jerez WorldSBK test.
Wednesday results at 1pm from the October 2025 Jerez WorldSBK test at the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto.
Nicolo Bulega was fastest in on Wednesday at the post-race WorldSBK test in Jerez. The Italian was over a second clear of second-placed Alex Lowes in the morning, but Iker Lecuona jumped him in the afternoon and was the only rider within a second of Bulega.
Michael van der Mark was fourth-fastest and the last rider in the 1:38s, ahead of Axel Bassani.
Next came the trio of Honda test riders present this week: Corentin Perolari, Ryan Vickers, and Alan Techer. Vickers and Techer both improved in the afternoon, particularly the British rider who got into the 1:39s for the first time aboard the Fireblade.
One of Bimota's test riders is unnamed on the circuit's live timing but the #53 may give a clue. Xavi Fores rode only in the afternoon and did only nine laps.
