Michael van der Mark won FIM Superbike World Championship Race One Saturday at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, in France. Riding his ROKiT BMW Motorrad M 1000 RR on Pirelli rain tires, the Dutchman won the wet 21-lap race by over eight seconds.
Two-time and defending Champion Alvaro Bautista was the runner-up on his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R.
Danilo Petrucci placed third on his Barni Spark Racing Team Ducati.
American Garrett Gerloff was one of the many riders who crashed during the race, but he was able to remount his Bonovo Action BMW and salvage 12th.
With World Championship point leader Toprak Razgatlioglu sitting out due to injuries suffered in a crash on Friday, Bautista’s teammate Nicolo Bulega missed a golden opportunity to gain ground in the point standing when he crashed out of the race.
After Race One, Razgatlioglu retained his 92-point lead over Bulega.
