More from a press release issued by Dorna:

Razgatlioglu sails to Race 2 win, as Bulega, fights from fourth row to rostrum finish. Toprak’s second Misano hat-trick in two years sees Bulega’s Championship lead cut to just 9 points.

Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) lands his 9^th career win as he cruises to a Race 2 win by nearly a 10-second margin. Bulega glided up the grid from his P10 grid start for his 15^thpodium of the season, limiting the damage his Riders’ Championship lead withstood. His lead now stands at a tenuous 9 points ahead of the #1. In third place, Bautista earned his 10^th podium of the year; however, his race win drought continues, as he last topped the podium at Aragon Race 2 in 2024.

TOPRAK AT HOME IN MISANO: 8^th WorldSBK win at Misano, tying Rea’s track record.

Toprak flew off the line to claim the holeshot, followed into the first corner by Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha), and that was the closest any other rider got to home in the race. While Locatelli, Alex Lowes and Danilo Petrucci battled in the early running for P2 until Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) and Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) shuffled them aside as they tried in vain to catch ‘El Turco’. Toprak held a strong pace all race to cruise to an uncontested Race win to complete his second Misano hat-trick in back-to-back years. Bulega and Bautista finished in a lonely P2 and P3 as they had the pace to separate themselves from the riders behind them, but lacked the speed to catch the streaking #1.

PETRUCCI TOP INDEPENDENT: Beats Lecuona for P5 by 0.129s

Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) won a protracted battle with Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) (Barni Spark Racing Team) to claim P4. ‘Petrux’ and Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) gave a sequel to their Race 1 battle for P3, a struggle which Petrucci won, but not without Locatelli, Bulega and Bautista passing the pair, shuffling the #9 to P5. Iker Lecuona (Honda HRC) worked hard to catch up to Petrucci ahead of him, but ultimately was unable to displace him, finishing just 0.129 seconds behind him.

GERLOFF SHOWS GRIT: Earns P8 to tie season-best

Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) held off Lecuona for the last laps of the race until a divebombing move by the Spaniard moved the Brit back to P7. Tying his best result so far in his debut season with Kawasaki, Texan rider Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) looked strong as he came out on top after a showdown for P8 with Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) and Andrea Iannone (Team Pata Go Eleven). Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) will take home solid points from Misano’s Race 2, a welcome result when considering he was not expected to compete at the event after his foot injury suffered at Most. Michael van der Mark (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) notches a P10, which is behind where he would like to be on the timesheet; however, it is his best result of the last two rounds.

VICKERS TOP ROOKIE: Leads Sofuoglu and Zaidi from P11

Less than a second behind van der Mark, British rookie Ryan Vickers (Motocorsa Racing) finished in P11, more than six seconds ahead of Bassani in P12, and a further 4 seconds ahead of Turkish rookie Bahattin Sofuoglu (Yamaha Motoxracing WorldSBK Team) in P13. Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) recovered from his crash to earn points in P14, ahead of Michael Rinaldi (GMT94-YAMAHA), Scott Redding (MGM BONOVO Racing) and Zaqhwan Zaidi (PETRONAS MIE Honda Racing Team who all finished the race’s full length.

FOUR RIDERS CRASH OUT: Gardner, Montella, Lowes, Rea

Tarran Mackenzie (PETRONAS MIE Honda Racing Team) didn’t feature in the race due to a tech issue, joined in the garages first by Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) and then Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) crashed out on Turn 10. The incident is under review; however, Montella will leave Misano disappointed, as both of his Sunday races featured spills into the gravel. Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team), despite his good recent form, crashed out in Turn 8 from his position within the top eight. Andrea Iannone (Team Pata Go Eleven) crashed out in Turn 2 with just a single lap to go, followed on the last lap by Scott Redding (MGM BONOVO Racing), who crashed on Turn 14 but returned for P16.

More from a press release issued by Kawasaki Motors Europe:

America’s Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) took part in two WorldSBK Sunday races at the Misano World Circuit ‘Marco Simoncelli’, recording his best individual finishing position since he joined Kawasaki this season.

In the short Superpole Race, held over ten laps, Gerloff finished a battling 11th, having started from 14th place on the grid. He had ambitions on finishing inside the top ten but was passed in the later stages and could not improve his starting position fo the final race of the weekend.

In the second race Gerloff was able to use his Ninja ZX-10RR machine very effectively, despite starting from the fifth row of the grid.

Despite the hot ambient air conditions of 32°C Gerloff was able to fight his way to eighth place, which was two places better than his previous best race result this season. Gerloff scored points in both full distance races at Misano, which was a home round for his Italian team.

In the championship Garrett is 17th, with an enhanced points total of 40.

Donington Park in the UK is the venue for the seventh round of the championship. The UK round will take place between 11-13 July, at the same venue WorldSBK first appeared as a championship in its own right, in 1988.

Garrett Gerloff stated: “Today ended up not so bad. I was a bit frustrated after the Superpole Race because I was in eighth place, then I was just trying my best to stay in the top nine, to try to make sure that I could have a better starting position for Race Two. I didn’t get one, so I was definitely frustrated. We had not the best start in Race Two but we had pretty good pace and I felt better and better the more laps I did, and the more the fuel load started to go down. I finished inside the top ten and it was nice to have a single digit next to my name. We made some progress and I hope we make more in the next race, and keep improving, I hope.”

Toprak Razgatlioglu won the World Superbike Superpole Race Sunday morning at Misano Circuit Sic58, in Italy. Riding his ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team M1000RR, the 2024 WorldSuperbike Champion won the 10-lap race by 4.281 seconds.

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

Razgatlioglu claims P1 after Bulega wiped out by Bassani in first-corner fracas. Alex Lowes took P2 to claim Bimota’s first podium since 2000 as Locatelli in P3 made it three different manufacturers on the podium.

The final day at Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli” and the Pirelli Emilia-Romagna Round got off to a jaw-dropping start as MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship leader Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) and Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) crashed out from the first two positions. Seizing the opportunity, the #1 topped the podium, followed by Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team), who notched his first podium since the Tissot Superpole Race at Jerez 2024, and Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) earned his first-ever podium at Misano.

BAD BREAK FOR BULEGA: Taken out at the race’s outset, the #11 must now focus on Race 2

Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) and Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) found themselves in the gravel just moments after lights out as Bulega surged up for the holeshot. Bassani lost control of his bike as he lost the front on the inside, and his KB998 Rimini slid into Bulega, ending the race for both of them, and ending a 50-race streak of at least one Ducati on the podium. The incident was investigated by the FIM WorldSBK Stewards and Bassani was given a double Long Lap Penalty for Race 2 for irresponsible riding at Turn 1. Toprak cut inside of Bassani as his bike slid out from under him to avoid the danger, and cruised home for P1; BMW’s 5^th consecutive podium at Misano, the best streak for a manufacturer since Kawasaki and Rea’s 7-race streak from 2014 to 2017. Joining Razgatllioglu on the podium, Alex Lowes and Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) chased ‘El Turco’ across the line for Bimota’s first podium in 25 years, and Locatelli’s 22^nd career WorldSBK podium.

TRIO OF DUCATIS MISS PODIUM: Petrucci, Bautista, Lowes claim points but miss the podium

Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) did well to climb positions as he started in P9, but he was unable to keep up with a strong jump off the line from Alex Lowes and Locatelli, finishing in P4. Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) gained positions up from his P11 starting position, battling with Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha) for stretches of the race reminiscent of the pair’s duels from seasons past to finish in P5. For a change of pace from their recent rounds’ form, Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) was the slower of the Lowes brothers, finishing in P6. Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha) finished in P7 behind Lowes, turning back time as he battled with Bautista and Gardner in a bar-to-bar duel over several laps as the race entered its latter half. Having started in P15, Rea’s P7 marks his best finish since joining Yamaha.

HONDA VS HONDA DUEL: Lecuona and Vierge weren’t afraid to lock horns as they fought for the final point-scoring spot

Remy Gardner was bumped down the running from his P6 start position by riders like Bautista and fellow Yamaha rider Rea. He finished within the points, however, and will look forward to the final race of the weekend with Race 2. Iker Lecuona (Honda HRC) and his teammate Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) battled for the point-scoring P9 position throughout the race. By the chequered flag, Lecuona held off his injury-addled teammate for P9, relegating his teammate Vierge to a P10 outside the point scoring positions. Finishing in P17, further behind them, Iannone was in the thick of the battle for the top eight until he was obliged to take a double long lap penalty by FIM WorldSBK stewards for a jump start at lights out.

MACKENZIE AND MONTELLA TUMBLE: The Scotsman and the Italian ended the Superpole Race in the Gravel

Tarran Mackenzie (PETRONAS MIE Honda Racing Team) crashed on Turn 13 of Lap six, the first rider to take a spill after the lap one encounter with Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) and Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati). Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) crashed out on Lap 9 from Turn 13

Loudon Classic: Scott Takes Win, $60,000

Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott led every lap of the 102nd Annual Loudon Classic presented by Dunlop and walked away with a check for $60,000 for the win on Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Scott, who qualified his GSX-R750 on pole, has won the Classic Main twice in three starts and finished second in last year’s race, bringing home a total of $150,000.

Joseph LiMandri Jr. finished second, which paid $37,000 before bonuses, and Jake Lewis took third and $26,000.

Scott jumped into the lead and tried initially to make a break from the field, but found LiMandri Jr. on a Yamaha YZF-R6 and Lewis on a Yamaha YZF-R9 were able to run with him in the early laps.

“I tried to make the break five times. Joe – I grew up racing with him, he’s a really great rider. I knew I would have to do a lot to break away from him and Jake Lewis,” Scott said.

Scott then adopted a different strategy, maintaining his pace on a relatively slick track that was washed clean by overnight rains. The track was wet in the morning, leaving the qualifying session devoid of participants, and Scott said he was racing the green track more than his competitors.

At the halfway point, Scott said, the tires had dropped off and the leaders were about to engage with lapped traffic. In last year’s race, battling with lappers cost him the win, so this year he said he wanted to “be a little more aggressive, trying to keep the gap that I’d worked so hard to build.”

It worked. For the rest of the race, the Vision Wheel team was showing Scott +2 on his pit board, with only a “chilled out” final lap cutting the gap to 1.417 seconds at the finish line, Scott said.

“I struggled with the track, even though the setup was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for any more from the team,” Scott said.

Eli Block won the Pro 500 Superbikes class, earning $3,000, with Adam Muscaro second and taking home $2,500 and Nathan Bettencourt completing the podium and earning $1,000. All three riders raced Kawasaki Ninja 400Rs.

Adam Guyer won the Pro Thunderbikes class on an Aprilia RS 660, ahead of Jacob Crossman on another Aprilia and Maverick Cyr on a Triumph 675R. Guyer earned $3,000, Crossman $2,500 and Cyr $1,000.

Dominic Doyle won the Streetfighter class on a Yamaha MT-09, ahead of Teagg Hobbs and Gus Rodio, both on Ducati Streetfighter V2s. Doyle won $25,000, Hobbs $15,000 and Rodio $10,000.

Loudon Classic: Weather Washes Out Qualifying, Scott On Pole

A wet track at New Hampshire Motor Speedway meant that no one went out for final qualifying for the Dunlop Loudon Classic, leaving Suzuki GSX-R750-mounted Tyler Scott on pole for the Main event scheduled for this afternoon.

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

Resisting The Home Hero: Razgatlioglu fends off Bulega for Misano victory; surpasses Bautista for career WorldSBK wins. ‘El Turco’ became the rider with the second-most WorldSBK wins of all time after Misano’s Race 1, as he claimed his 64^th career win.

Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) ran away with P1 as he put distance between himself and rival Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), who finished P2 for his 18^th WorldSBK podium. Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) held off Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) for P3 in a nail-biting battle for his 19^th career podium in the category after Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team)’s strong start was spoiled by his Lap 2 crash.

154 FOR 54: 154th WorldSBK podium for the usual #54

Razgatlioglu held onto his P1 grid start as he claimed the holeshot, followed into T1 by Bassani and Bulega; however, the pair of Italians strode past the #1 as he ran wide—Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team). After Bassani crashed out of the race, ‘El Turco’ thundered back towards Bulega in P1, overtaking him on Lap 4. The pair from there locked horns as the #1 doggedly defended his P1 to try to win back Championship points. Behind them, Alex Lowes and Petrucci had a protracted duel of their own as they each wanted to claim the final rostrum spot for their own.

SAM LOWES VS ALVARO BAUTISTA: The Ducati pair crossed swords in the final laps of the race, ultimately decided by a Track Limits Penalty

In the late running, Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) closed the gap to Alex Lowes in P4 in front of him, nipping at the British rider’s heels as they battled in front of him. In the end, he lacked the pace to fight for P3 as well, finishing top Yamaha in P5. Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) held P6, duelling with Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing) as the Spaniard made a desperate attack to try to claim P6 for his own. In the end, Sam Lowes held on for sixth place, relegating the #19 to P7. However, after being penalised with a three-second penalty in lieu of a Long Lap Penalty by the FIM WorldSBK stewards for violating track limits, Bautista was bumped up to P6, and Sam Lowes was down to P7.

MONTELLA CONTINUES TO SHINE: fifth top-eight finish of his rookie year

Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) chalked up another strong result in his rookie season, finishing P8 as top rookie once again. Iker Lecuona (Honda HRC) was the faster of the Honda pair as he finished P9, just two positions ahead of teammate Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC), who earned P11 despite still dealing with his recently fractured foot. In P10 between the factory Honda pair, Scott Redding (MGM BONOVO Racing) landed his first top 10 finish since Cremona Race 1.

RINALDI SCORES IN YAMAHA DEBUT: P15 for the Italian in his first WorldSBK Yamaha race

Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha) was the second-fastest Yamaha on the day, his P12 his second-best result of the season after his pair of P10’s from Most. Ryan Vickers (Motocorsa Racing) finished in P13 ahead of American rider Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) in P14 and Michael Rinaldi (GMT94-YAMAHA) in P15, scoring points in his first WorldSBK race in Yamaha blue. Rounding out the riders who saw the chequered flag, Tarran Mackenzie led the Petronas MIE Honda Racing Team pair across the finish line, Malaysian Zaqhwan Zaidi following him home to finish P16 and P17.

EARLY CHAOS AT MISANO: five retirements in the first half of the race

Bahattin Sofuoglu (Yamaha Motoxracing WorldSBK Team) was the first to fall in Race 1, his low-side crash wiping out Dominique Aegerter (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) in the early stages of the race at Turn 8, and he was taken to the medical centre shortly after in quick succession. Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) shortly after crashed out of the race in Lap 2 Turn 6, in Lap 3 Andrea Iannone (Team Pata Go Eleven) carried too much speed into Turn 13 and crashed out of the race. On Lap 6, Michael van der Mark (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) was the next to tumble as he slid off with a lowside on Turn 10. Gardner was the last to fall on Turn 8 of Lap 11.

Stefano Manzi won FIM Supersport World Championship Race One Saturday at Misano Circuit Sic 58, in Italy. Riding his Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing YZF- R9, the Italian won the 18-lap race by 0.514 second.

Poleman Jaume Masia was the runner-up on Orelac Racing Verdnatura Ducati Panigale V2, 1.004 second ahead of third-place finisher Can Oncu, who rode a BLU CRU Evan Bros Team Yamaha YZF R9.

Former MotoAmerica Supersport regular Valentin Debise crossed the finish line fourth on his Renzi Corse Ducati Panigale V2.

Results wssp race 1

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

TENTH TO FIRST: Manzi overcomes four-rider scrap for victory to win from the fourth row. Manzi took his 50^th WorldSSP rostrum, becoming only the third to reach this milestone – Kenan Sofuoglu (85) and Jules Cluzel (63).

The FIM Supersport World Championship’s first race of the Pirelli Emilia-Romagna Round is in the books as Stefano Manzi (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) thundered across the line for his 14^th career win, and the fourth this year. Rookie Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) stuck a late move on Can Oncu (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team) to land P2, relegating Oncu to P3 for Masia’s third podium and Oncu’s 20^th.

HOME GLORY: victory for Manzi gives Yamaha their 155^th WorldSSP win

Manzi charged up the grid on the first lap of the race, and after just one lap, Manzi had recovered from his P10 starting position to P3. On lap 5, Oncu made an incisive move to take P1 from Masia, and Manzi followed him through the break, contacting Masia and Oncu as the riders went three wide, relegating Masia to P3. Manzi shortly after setting up shop in P1, put on a defensive masterclass as Oncu launched assault after assault, and Manzi consistently recouped his P1 position. A late move by Masia on the race’s final lap cut in on Oncu and shuffled the Turk to the bottom rung of the podium as the Spaniard earned his third career WorldSSP podium.

RECOVERY RUNS: Alcoba and Mahias jump up the grid from their P13 and P15 start to finish P7 and P8

Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) hung with Schroetter and Debise in front of him for most of the race, but as the race ran on, his pace fell off, and he overtook Schroetter late to finish P5. Schroetter led the second pack of riders as they briefly caught up to the group at the front; however, as his group began to lag back, he lost a position to finish P6. Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) recovered well from his P13 start to finish P7 as he battled with his group. Lucas Mahias (GMT94-YAMAHA) was similarly inspired at Misano’s Race 1, moving up from P15 to finish P8 behind the Spanish Kawasaki rider.

OETTL’S ASSAULT STALLS: the German rider nearly closed the gap into the top 5 fight but fell back as time went on

Federico Caricasulo (D34G WorldSSP Racing Team) didn’t enjoy quite the same luck as Mahias and Alcoba, as he slipped down the grid from his P6 start to finish P9. Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) led the second group of riders from P7 until he caught up to the podium-fighting group in Lap 8. Unfortunately for him, his pace fell off in the second half of the race and he finished in P10.

MISANO MISHAPS: Race 1 DNFS

Kaito Toba (PETRONAS MIE Honda Racing) was the first to slip off the tarmac, and he took a tumble at Turn 14 as the Japanese rider tussled from the middle of the pack. Filippo Farioli (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) was the next to fall at Turn 5, Lap 6. Aldi Mahendra (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team) crashed at Turn 4 on Lap 9, ruling him out of serious contention and later retiring on Lap 11.

WSBK: Bulega Breaks Lap Record, Takes Pole Position In Italy

Nicolo Bulega took pole position during World Superbike Superpole qualifying Saturday at Misano Circuit Sic58, in Italy. Riding his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R, Bulega recorded a lap time of 1:31.618, which was not only good enough to top the 22-rider field and secure pole position it also eclipsed Razgatlioglu’s 2024 All-Time Lap Record of 1:32.320.

After being investigated for slow riding in Superpole, Nicolo Bulega received a three-place grid drop and will now line up fourth for Race 1.

Toprak Razgatlioglu qualified second with a 1:31.856 on his ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team M1000RR.

Axel Bassani did a 1:32.337 on his Kawasaki Racing Team bimota KB998 Rimini to earn the third and final spot on the front row.

Row two starters include ELF Marc VDS Racing Team’s Sam Lowes (1:32.419), Bassani’s teammate, Alex Lowes (1:32.466), and Remy Gardner on his GYTR GRT Yamaha YZF R1 (1:32.562).

Danilo Petrucci finished ninth with a time of 1:32.656 on his Barni Spark Racing Team Ducati Panigale V4R.

American Garrett Gerloff qualified 15th with a 1:33.264 on his Kawasaki ZX-10RR.

Results WSBK SUPERPOLE

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

SUPERPOLE DRAMA: Bulega obliterates Misano lap record for P1 but penalised, Bassani gives Bimota first front row since 1989. Nicolo Bulega claimed P1 on the timesheets ahead of Razgatlioglu, with both riders in the 1’31s, while Bassani took P3 – his first front row since 2023.

Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) was the fastest rider in the Tissot Superpole session for the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship with an unbelievable 1’31.618s lap time, more than two tenths clear of Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) in second at the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”. They will be joined on the front row by Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) as ‘El Bocia’ celebrated Bimota’s home round with their first front row in more than 35 years.

THE FIRST RUN: Bassani fast but behind Bulega

The first runs were disrupted by a yellow flag after Ryan Vickers (Motocorsa Racing) fell at Turn 4, but that didn’t stop Bulega putting in a record-breaking 1’32.109s to move into a provisional P1; the time was two tenths quicker than the previous lap record. Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) was second in the early running with a 1’32.732s, ahead of Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) who had a provisional front row starting position.

RECORD SMASHED: Bulega claims P1 on the timesheets, Razgatlioglu second as Bassani takes front row

Razgatlioglu had time on the table to find and he did so on his first lap of his second run, putting in a barely-believable with a 1’31.856s, more than two tenths clear of Bulega who was also on a flying lap. Despite being two tenths slower and losing time in the first sector, the #11 put in a lap that was two tenths quicker than ‘El Turco’ – a remarkable 1’31.618s – to claim P1 on the timesheets on home soil. However, Bulega, along with Andrea Iannone (Team Pata GoEleven), was placed under investigation for slow riding during Superpole and was later given a three-place grid penalty – meaning he’ll start Race 1 from fourth. Razgatlioglu will line up from second, with Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) claiming third with a 1’32.337s; it’s his first front row since Imola 2023, and Bimota’s first since Giancarlo Falappa and Mike Baldwin were first and third at Pergusa in 1989.

LOWES BROTHERS LINE UP TOGETHER: fourth and fifth for Sam and Alex

Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) continued his strong Superpole form with P4 as the second Ducati rider, finishing half-a-tenth clear of twin brother Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) in fifth after the #22 posted a 1’32.466s. Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) has been fighting to be the lead Yamaha rider all weekend and he was in Superpole as he claimed sixth place with a 1’32.571s.

FOUR ITALIANS ROUND OUT THE TOP TEN: Iannone leads ‘Loka’, Montella tenth

Iannone was seventh on the timesheets although received the same penalty as Bulega, demoting him to tenth on the grid. This promoted Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) from eighth to seventh after he set a 1’32.623s while Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) rounded will go from eighth and Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) has been impressive throughout the season, especially at Misano, as he claimed P10 on the timesheets, but will start from P9 in Race 1.

A DAY TO FORGET: Bautista, Rea suffer worst Superpole results at Misano

Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) had been running in the top three all weekend but could only manage 11^th in Superpole. For Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha), he was 16^th on the timesheets, and, for both, it was their worst Superpole result at Misano.

The top six from WorldSBK Superpole, full results here:

1. Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) 1’31.618s*

2. Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) +0.238s

$400,000 Loudon Classic® Purse, Vintage Racing Returns to New Hampshire Motor Speedway During Laconia Motorcycle Week.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) is a top destination for riders visiting the area during Laconia Motorcycle Week, June 14-22, with on- and off-track events throughout nine days of motorcycle mayhem. The 102^nd Annual Loudon Classic® headlines a week-long motorcycle celebration that features racing, demo rides, vendors, camping and more.

“Motorcycle Week is one of our favorite times of the year when we get to showcase all the beauty of the Granite State to riders,” said New Hampshire Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager David McGrath. “This event is a great way to kick off the summer season, and we love opening our gates to riders from all over the country. The two-wheeled, road-course racing is wild, and we’re proud to offer riders the opportunity to test out the latest bikes as well as do some shopping for some new gear to upgrade their ride.”

NHMS is home to the best racing action in the region, and there will be no shortage of action on the 1.6-mile full road course June 13-15 when Northeast Motorcycle Road Racing (NEMRR) competes in round three of racing. The weekend will be highlighted by the 102^nd Annual Loudon Classic® on June 14, which has been held on site since long before the speedway was built, when it was simply a road course named Bryar Motorsports Park. Known as the longest-running motorcycle race in America, this year’s Loudon Classic® returns with a record-breaking $400,000 purse.

The United States Classic Racing Association returns to NHMS this year closing out the two-wheeled on-track action with the FIM North American Vintage Championships, June 21-22. A variety of classes, ranging from 1950s tank shifters to modern small bike twins provide a wide range of vintage racing action.

Harley-Davidson will host the largest demo ride course in the area June 14-21 allowing riders to feel the excitement of hitting the open road. The nearly nine-mile route will take riders through an off-property experience with a unique chance to demo the power, performance and innovation of the latest models from Harley-Davidson and Indian.

NHMS and ProRider 603 are joining forces again to host the third annual Top Cop for Kids Motorcycle Skills Challenge presented by Whelen, which will put the region’s finest motorcycle riders to the test to see who has what it takes to be named Top Cop. ProRider 603 will set up two timed courses, designed to test accuracy and speed, for three divisions of riders – police, expert civilian and novice civilian. One course will be designated for police and expert riders while the second course will be for novice riders. The timed courses will be open Friday and Saturday, June 13-14 for practice with the timed challenge and trophy presentation taking place on Sunday, June 15. Riders are strongly encouraged to register in advance, as spots are limited.

Riders looking to improve their skills prior to the Top Cop for Kids Motorcycle Skills Challenge can participate in a clinic hosted by Quinn Redeker who spent many years as a Police Motor Officer and instructor in California. Redeker is the current National Brand Ambassador for the BMW Motorrad Authority Division and travels the world competing in motorcycle competitions, providing demonstrations and offering clinics to police agencies and civilians. Redeker will be hosting a clinic for novice riders at NHMS on Friday, June 13 at 9 a.m. and for expert and police riders on Saturday, June 14 at 10 a.m.
