Wow! Sometimes one word sums up a race weekend. WorldSBK offers three bites of the cherry for riders and teams to do battle. Sometimes not even three races for the Superbike class feels like enough. At the Portuguese Round we saw Toprak Razgatlioglu and Nicolo Bulega deliver the best racing we've seen anywhere in 2025.
If you're not watching you're missing out
There are many criticisms that are kicked in the direction of WorldSBK. The calendar is a common one. The wait between Round 1 and Round 2 was five weeks. Fans grew impatient and MotoGP returned to television sets around the world. Fans were intrigued by Marc Marquez moving to the factory Ducati squad. How would Pecco react to this? Would the Marc and Alex show be the story of the season?
The opening two rounds of the year offered intrigue but not excitement. Changeable conditions in COTA have given us plenty to talk about but if it wasn't for Marc's crash on Sunday how would you feel about the race?
