Toprak Razgatlioglu edged rival Nicolo Bulega to claim pole position for the UK World Superbike round – Full 2025 Donington WorldSBK Superpole Results.
Reigning world champion Toprak Razgatlioglu topped the Superpole session for his final UK WorldSBK round before his much-anticipated move to MotoGP at the end of the season.
Championship leader Nicolo Bulega finished second, just over a tenth of a second behind Razgatlioglu, a performance that was particularly impressive given Ducati’s historical struggles at Donington Park.
Completing the front row was the home favorite Alex Lowes who delivered a spirited performance to clock a 1:24.974, narrowly missing out on catching Bulega.
Behind the leading trio, Jonathan Rea used the slipstream to perfection on his final flying lap to secure fourth. Alongside him on the second row was Sam Lowes and Andrea Locatelli.
The third row was headed by Motorcorsa rookie Ryan Vickers while the Barni Spark Racing Team enjoyed a strong showing with Yari Montella and Danilo Petrucci qualifying eighth and ninth respectively.
