Alvaro Bautista won the FIM Superbike World Championship Superpole Race Sunday at MotorLand Aragon, in Spain. Riding his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R on spec Pirelli tires, the two-time and defending World Champion won the 10-lap race by just 0.088 second.
Toprak Razgatlioglu was the runner-up on his ROKiT BMW Motorrad M 1000 RR, but that finish further extended the Turkish rider’s lead in the World Championship point standings.
Nicolo Bulega, Bautista’s teammate and Razgatlioglu’s closest title rival, was a very close third, just 0.172 second behind first place.
Race One winner Andrea Iannone got fourth on his Team Go Eleven Ducati.
American Garrett Gerloff finished fifth on his Bonovo Action BMW.
