10/20/2024 04:27 AM
Nicolo Bulega does the double at Jerez as he continues to dominate the rest of the World Superbike grid.
After Toprak Razgatlioglu claimed the 2024 World Superbike Championship on Saturday the pressure was off the #54. However, he still could not match the pace of the Ducati Panigale V4 R.
Nicolo Bulega checked out again at the front in Jerez as he dominated the final Superpole Race of the 2024 season. The Italian may have finished second in the Championship but he is on for his first triple of his World Superbike career.
Razgatlioglu had to settle for second place for the second time this weekend. The Turkish rider may have won the Championship but has not been able to beat Bulega in a battle at Jerez this weekend.
Completing the podium was Alex Lowes on the Kawasaki ZX-10RR. This was Lowes' 12th podium of the season, which will help him in his hunt for fourth in the Championship.
Barni Spark Racing Team rider, Danilo Petrucci, finished the race in fourth place. The Italian could not match Lowes' pace to try and fight for the podium.
The top Yamaha rider in the Superpole Race was Andrea Locatelli in fifth place. Despite finishing in third place on Saturday the Italian could not claim another podium in the short race.
Outside of the top five was Michael van der Mark in sixth place on the ROKiT BMW.
After the race, Andrea Iannone was moved up to seventh place despite crossing the line in eighth. Garrett Gerloff was demoted from seventh to eighth place for a suspected track limits penalty.
The final points scorer in the Superpole Race was Alvaro Bautista. Despite a dreadful start the Spaniard made his way through the field and finished in ninth.
