FP2 Results
Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) topped the opening session of the EICMA Estoril Round as he started a potential title-deciding weekend in the perfect fashion. ‘El Turco’ set a 1’36.054s to claim the honours in Free Practice 1 at the Circuito Estoril, with title rival Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) 0.226s slower than the #1 as the penultimate round of the season kicked off.
Razgatlioglu’s 1’36.054s was good enough to claim top spot despite being set in the first half of the 45-minute session, although Bulega slowly closed the gap to his Championship rival down from four tenths to just over two tenths. The #11 set a 1’36.280s as he finished in second place during FP1, with Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) taking P3 on the Bimota KB998 Rimini, just over half-a-second down on Razgatlioglu.
Andrea Iannone (Team Pata GoEleven) showed his potential in the first action at Estoril as he claimed P4, only 0.011s down on the #22 ahead as he set a 1’36.631s. ‘The Maniac’ was sandwiched between the two Bimota riders with Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) enjoying a strong start to the weekend in P5, around half-a-tenth down on his fellow Italian rider in P4. Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) completed the top six with a 1’36.742s.
Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) was the lead rider on the Yamaha R1 in P7, finishing directly ahead of teammate Jonathan Rea in eighth with around a tenth separating the two Yamaha riders. Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) was ninth with a 1’37.036s with ‘Petrux’ nursing a hand injury he sustained in a gym training accident. Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), one of Petrucci’s two rivals for P3 in the Championship, completed the top ten with Iker Lecuona (Honda HRC) in 11th; the Spanish rider is making his comeback from injury at Estoril and he, along with Petrucci, will be reassessed after FP1.
Tarran Mackenzie (MGM BONOVO Action) had a difficult start to Free Practice 1 when he crashed at Turn 1 on his Ducati Panigale V4 R, running wide before falling off the bike when he hit the gravel; he was able to walk away from the fall.

The 2025 FIM Supersport World Championship season is off and running in their penultimate round at the Circuito Estoril as the grid is now set for Saturday’s Race 1 with the conclusion of their Tissot Superpole Race. Can Oncu (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team) was the fastest on Friday to kick off the EICMA Estoril Round, taking his fourth pole of the season. Alberto Surra (Yamaha BLU CRU Evan Bros Team) gave him a late run for his money, but he finished behind Oncu in P2. Rounding out the front row, Valentin Debise (Renzi Corse) took P3 for his third front-row start of 2025
ONCU INEVITABLE IN ESTORIL SUPERPOLE: Fourth pole position of 2025 for the Turk
Can Oncu had another terrific start to a WorldSSP round weekend as his 1’39.608s time shot him up the order to sit pole. In the final moments of the session, fellow Yamaha rider Alberto Surra snuck his way up the timesheets to finish P2, claiming his best Superpole start in the category. Valentin Debise stayed hot in Estoril’s first event. After his race win at Aragon, Debise will sit front row through his P3-earning time, clocking in nearly four tenths slower than Oncu in P1.
QJ’S BREAKOUT SUPERPOLE RESULT: De Rosa earns the manufacturer’s best start position in their second WorldSSP season
Raffaele de Rosa (QJMOTOR Factory Racing) turned heads on his QJMOTOR SRK 800 RS as the pair combined for QJ’s best-ever Superpole result in P4, from which he will lead the second row into Race one on Saturday. Marcel Schroetter (WRP Racing) earned P5 through his late 1’40.135s lap, which saved him from a poor start on Saturday, he looked destined for throughout much of the session. Lucas Mahias (GMT94-YAMAHA) had a Friday Superpole session full of perseverance as the Frenchman struggled with tech issues throughout Free Practice. Undeterred, the #94 finishes sixth on the day to cap off the second row.
MANZI SPUTTERS OFF THE LINE TO OPEN ESTORIL: The Championship leader finishes on Friday in P13
Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) showed another step taken by the grid’s Ducatis. At the session’s midway point, he led a group of four Panigale V2s within the top six. He wasn’t able to improve his time, however, and finished the session in P7. Ondrej Vostatek (WRP Racing) had a breakout Superpole result, improving his previous season-best result of P16 to a P8 result at Estoril, an encouraging start to the weekend for the Czech rider. Federico Caricasulo (D34G WorldSSP Racing Team) had an early lowside crash in the session but ended up missing P8 by just 0.011s to settle for P9. Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) struggled in the first half of the session, but with less than 20 minutes remaining, the #69 and his 1’40.283s time clawed his way back up the order for P10 to lead the fourth row. Stefano Manzi’s first showing was one to forget at Estoril as the #62 will start Race 1 from the sixth row after his P13 earning time of 1’40.346s was nearly three-quarters of a second away from P1

Once again the rest of the world is looking this way as the Suzuki International Series prepares for blast-off in December, a competition seen as the perfect place for riders to showcase their undeniable motorcycle racing skills.
There are now just eight weeks to go before the flag drops for the start of the popular three-round series and competition organiser Allan ‘Flea’ Willacy is currently putting the final preparations in place for the start of the most popular motorcycle road-race series in the Southern Hemisphere, a competition that perhaps may inspire or open doors for Kiwi riders, and others too, who intend to make an impact on the world stage.
Last season’s outright winner of the Suzuki International Series, Whakatane’s Mitch Rees, left our shores to compete at the famous Isle of Man TT road race spectacular earlier this year and will head overseas again to race at Macau, in China, in November, before returning to compete in the 2025 Suzuki International Series.
Started in 2008, this year’s 17th annual Suzuki International Series – it skipped a year in 2021 due to the COVID-019 pandemic – as usual includes the world-renowned Cemetery Circuit public street race event in Whanganui on Boxing Day, a race day sometimes hailed as the “Isle of Man of the south”.
It all kicks off the busiest time of the year for New Zealand’s premier motorcycle road-racers and the international elite who make the trip Downunder.
The opening round of the series at the Taupo International Motorsport Park on the weekend of December 6-7 will again be highly anticipated, with the excitement continuing at round two at Manfeild, on the outskirts of Feilding, just a week later, on December 13-14.
It wraps up, as always, with the spectacular finale on Whanganui’s world-famous Cemetery Circuit on Boxing Day, this traditional post-Christmas “street fight” perhaps the jewel in the crown for motorcycle road-racing in New Zealand.
It will again be celebrated as the Southern Hemisphere’s premier “round the houses” race meeting, sponsored of course by Suzuki New Zealand, but again too with additional high-profile financial support from Oceania’s leading freight and logistics provider Mondiale VGL.
Willacy said he was thrilled to be able “to work with so many great people” to make this series happen again in 2025.
Willacy also said he was delighted to report that a large number of entries have been received this year, with 16 international competitors signed up, arriving from the United States of America, Great Britain and Australia. It is the largest number of international entries seen in New Zealand since the Marlboro Series days in the 1970s and class entries for this year’s series are filling up fast.
“It’s fantastic also to have this continued support from Suzuki New Zealand,” Willacy said.
“The inclusive nature of the international series class rules allow club riders to compete alongside seasoned campaigners and these events are a launching pad for many of our up-and-coming competitors,” said Willacy.
“The various bike classes that are offered by this series cater for all motorcycle owners out there and we know this leads to the high participation numbers that we see in the Suzuki International Series each year. That’s what we’re all about, offering something for everyone.”
Early bird tickets are available until the end of November. For more details, interested parties should follow the link on the www.cemeterycircuit.co.nz web site.
DATES FOR 2025 SUZUKI INTERNATIONAL SERIES
• Round 1, Taupo, Dec 6-7;
• Round 2, Manfeild, Feilding, Dec 13-14;
• Round 3, Whanganui’s Cemetery Circuit, Dec 26.

Willow Springs Superbike Showdown Results
On Saturday, October 4, more than 70 racers and track riders gathered at Willow Springs International Raceway to take on the Fastest Road in the West, the Big Willow 2.5 mile course. Folks went fast, machines were challenged, and the Willow Springs Superbike Showdown took place to much fanfare & excitement.
The event, created to honor the two-wheeled warriors of the WSMC, WERA & AHRMA racing clubs, featured a half-day open track day & new racers’ school followed by road racing on motorcycles ranging in age from Jason Lindquist’s 1968 Yamaha DT-1 to Rob Morton’s 2026 Aprilia RS660.
While the event faced challenges from competing races in Southern California & Leeds, Alabama, there was a homecoming of racers who have called Willow Springs Raceway home for over 70 years, including veteran racer Jim Granger who was at the first AMA national motorcycle race in 1954 when the track was made of a solution called “desert mix,” a scraped gravel surface rolled flat & then oiled down. Other legends who participated included Thad Wolff, Clinton Whitehouse, Ed Haazer & our own Scott Fabbro who started his career at WSIR in 1986.
Because of the overwhelming number of veteran racers at the track, the day went off without incident for both the track day & races. AMA Pro Mookie Wilkerson passed seven out of nine new racers who took to the course for the mock race after lunch, including Mike Strozzi of Moto Haus, who brought a half dozen riders to get licensed. Moto Haus also stepped up as the official sponsor of the Big Twins class…thank you Mike!
Ramming Speed believes that this one-day format may work for future events. Without financial support we cannot afford to run a two or three day event given our boutique clientele. If you are a moto-centric business or classic road racing sympathizer, please contact us to discuss how you can help get us on the track next year!

Raffaele de Rosa (QJMOTOR Factory Racing) turned heads on his QJMOTOR SRK 800 RS as the pair combined for QJ’s best-ever Superpole result in P4, from which he will lead the second row into Race one on Saturday. Marcel Schroetter (WRP Racing) earned P5 through his late 1’40.135s lap, which saved him from a poor start on Saturday, he looked destined for throughout much of the session. Lucas Mahias (GMT94-YAMAHA) had a Friday Superpole session full of perseverance as the Frenchman struggled with tech issues throughout Free Practice. Undeterred, the #94 finishes sixth on the day to cap off the second row.
MANZI SPUTTERS OFF THE LINE TO OPEN ESTORIL: The Championship leader finishes on Friday in P13
Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) showed another step taken by the grid’s Ducatis. At the session’s midway point, he led a group of four Panigale V2s within the top six. He wasn’t able to improve his time, however, and finished the session in P7. Ondrej Vostatek (WRP Racing) had a breakout Superpole result, improving his previous season-best result of P16 to a P8 result at Estoril, an encouraging start to the weekend for the Czech rider. Federico Caricasulo (D34G WorldSSP Racing Team) had an early lowside crash in the session but ended up missing P8 by just 0.011s to settle for P9. Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) struggled in the first half of the session, but with less than 20 minutes remaining, the #69 and his 1’40.283s time clawed his way back up the order for P10 to lead the fourth row. Stefano Manzi’s first showing was one to forget at Estoril as the #62 will start Race 1 from the sixth row after his P13 earning time of 1’40.346s was nearly three-quarters of a second away from P1

Once again the rest of the world is looking this way as the Suzuki International Series prepares for blast-off in December, a competition seen as the perfect place for riders to showcase their undeniable motorcycle racing skills.
There are now just eight weeks to go before the flag drops for the start of the popular three-round series and competition organiser Allan ‘Flea’ Willacy is currently putting the final preparations in place for the start of the most popular motorcycle road-race series in the Southern Hemisphere, a competition that perhaps may inspire or open doors for Kiwi riders, and others too, who intend to make an impact on the world stage.
Last season’s outright winner of the Suzuki International Series, Whakatane’s Mitch Rees, left our shores to compete at the famous Isle of Man TT road race spectacular earlier this year and will head overseas again to race at Macau, in China, in November, before returning to compete in the 2025 Suzuki International Series.
Started in 2008, this year’s 17th annual Suzuki International Series – it skipped a year in 2021 due to the COVID-019 pandemic – as usual includes the world-renowned Cemetery Circuit public street race event in Whanganui on Boxing Day, a race day sometimes hailed as the “Isle of Man of the south”.
It all kicks off the busiest time of the year for New Zealand’s premier motorcycle road-racers and the international elite who make the trip Downunder.
The opening round of the series at the Taupo International Motorsport Park on the weekend of December 6-7 will again be highly anticipated, with the excitement continuing at round two at Manfeild, on the outskirts of Feilding, just a week later, on December 13-14.
It wraps up, as always, with the spectacular finale on Whanganui’s world-famous Cemetery Circuit on Boxing Day, this traditional post-Christmas “street fight” perhaps the jewel in the crown for motorcycle road-racing in New Zealand.
It will again be celebrated as the Southern Hemisphere’s premier “round the houses” race meeting, sponsored of course by Suzuki New Zealand, but again too with additional high-profile financial support from Oceania’s leading freight and logistics provider Mondiale VGL.
Willacy said he was thrilled to be able “to work with so many great people” to make this series happen again in 2025.
Willacy also said he was delighted to report that a large number of entries have been received this year, with 16 international competitors signed up, arriving from the United States of America, Great Britain and Australia. It is the largest number of international entries seen in New Zealand since the Marlboro Series days in the 1970s and class entries for this year’s series are filling up fast.
“It’s fantastic also to have this continued support from Suzuki New Zealand,” Willacy said.
“The inclusive nature of the international series class rules allow club riders to compete alongside seasoned campaigners and these events are a launching pad for many of our up-and-coming competitors,” said Willacy.
“The various bike classes that are offered by this series cater for all motorcycle owners out there and we know this leads to the high participation numbers that we see in the Suzuki International Series each year. That’s what we’re all about, offering something for everyone.”
Early bird tickets are available until the end of November. For more details, interested parties should follow the link on the www.cemeterycircuit.co.nz web site.
DATES FOR 2025 SUZUKI INTERNATIONAL SERIES
• Round 1, Taupo, Dec 6-7;
• Round 2, Manfeild, Feilding, Dec 13-14;
• Round 3, Whanganui’s Cemetery Circuit, Dec 26.

Willow Springs Superbike Showdown Results
On Saturday, October 4, more than 70 racers and track riders gathered at Willow Springs International Raceway to take on the Fastest Road in the West, the Big Willow 2.5 mile course. Folks went fast, machines were challenged, and the Willow Springs Superbike Showdown took place to much fanfare & excitement.
The event, created to honor the two-wheeled warriors of the WSMC, WERA & AHRMA racing clubs, featured a half-day open track day & new racers’ school followed by road racing on motorcycles ranging in age from Jason Lindquist’s 1968 Yamaha DT-1 to Rob Morton’s 2026 Aprilia RS660.
While the event faced challenges from competing races in Southern California & Leeds, Alabama, there was a homecoming of racers who have called Willow Springs Raceway home for over 70 years, including veteran racer Jim Granger who was at the first AMA national motorcycle race in 1954 when the track was made of a solution called “desert mix,” a scraped gravel surface rolled flat & then oiled down. Other legends who participated included Thad Wolff, Clinton Whitehouse, Ed Haazer & our own Scott Fabbro who started his career at WSIR in 1986.
Because of the overwhelming number of veteran racers at the track, the day went off without incident for both the track day & races. AMA Pro Mookie Wilkerson passed seven out of nine new racers who took to the course for the mock race after lunch, including Mike Strozzi of Moto Haus, who brought a half dozen riders to get licensed. Moto Haus also stepped up as the official sponsor of the Big Twins class…thank you Mike!
Ramming Speed believes that this one-day format may work for future events. Without financial support we cannot afford to run a two or three day event given our boutique clientele. If you are a moto-centric business or classic road racing sympathizer, please contact us to discuss how you can help get us on the track next year!
