Both riders and manufacturers hit some key milestones during the visit to Misano
The Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli” hosted Round 6 of the 2025 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship season and it was a thriller, with massive Championship twists in Italy. Away from the title race, plenty of milestones were reached during the Pirelli Emilia-Romagna Round and we’ve gathered the most important numbers below.
706 – Between Anthony Gobert’s famous Phillip Island victory in Race 1 in 2000 and Alex Lowes's (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) P2 in the Superpole Race, 706 WorldSBK races had passed.
154 – Razgatlioglu’s Race 1 victory was the 154th rostrum of his career.
117 – Bautista’s Race 2 third-place finish was his 117th podium in WorldSBK, moving him ahead of Noriyuki Haga into fourth in the all-time list. His next target is Troy Corser, on 130.
98 – BMW secured their 98th podium at Misano, two away from a century.
