DID YOU MISS IT? Aragon delivers three incredible Razgatlioglu-Bulega battles
Round 10 of the 2025 season came from MotorLand Aragon and it was an incredible display throughout the entire weekend
The 2025 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship rolled into Spain for the tenth round of the season as the iconic MotorLand Aragon hosted the Tissot Aragon Round. All three WorldSBK races featured stunning battles between Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) and Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) as the title fight ignited under the Spanish sun. Catch up on just some of the epic action in the clips at the top of this page.
FRIDAY’S ACTION: Rapid pace from the top two…
Razgatlioglu topped the combined timesheets on Friday as he was quick in Free Practice 1, but ‘EL Turco’ was unable to improve his lap time throughout the day, with Razgatlioglu focusing on race pace. Bulega topped Free Practice 2 but wasn’t near Razgatlioglu’s fastest time of the day as the pair appeared to start preparing for battle.
MOVING INTO SATURDAY: Mind games before epic duel
Free Practice 3 kicked off Saturday’s action and it started with some mind games as Bulega followed Razgatlioglu for a lot of the 20-minute session. Tissot Superpole rolled around and the pace was scorching as seven riders beat last year’s pole time; the #11 taking P1 for the Race 1 grid. Then, it was elbows out for 18 laps as Razgatlioglu made it 13 wins in a row, fending off his title rival as they traded positions constantly throughout the race. In WorldSSP, there was a brand new race winner as Valentin Debise (Renzi Corse) ended his long wait for victory, while WorldSSP300 was won by Carter Thompson (MTM Kawasaki).
SUNDAY DELIVERS MORE OF THE SAME: Another two stunning scraps
If Saturday’s racing was excellent, then Sunday’s was off the charts. A 10-lap Tissot Superpole Race went right to the wire, and there was only one lap where the pair didn’t change positions. Then, Race 2 came and went and it was more of the same – until the final third. The duo kept changing positions and banging elbows, until a mistake by Razgatlioglu cost him around a second to Bulega. Unable to close the gap back, ‘Bulegas’ collected a relatively comfortable – compared to the other two races – victory to make it a Sunday double. There was a fight to the line in WorldSSP as Can Oncu (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team) just beat Stefano Manzi (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing), while Matteo Vannucci (PATA AG Motorsport Italia WorldSSP300) won by more than 10 seconds in WorldSSP300; the third-biggest winning margin in the Championship’s history as title challengers all hit trouble.
