WorldSBK’s earlier return to Cremona Circuit compared to the Italian venue’s debut one year ago marks the fourth stop on the 2025 schedule, and for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu it means some apprehension about his competitivenes✃s versus the Ducati 🦂riders.

Current 2025 points leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicolo Bulega, who DNF’d twice at Assen two weeks ago with technical issues, was second in Race 1 and third in Race 2 last year at Cremona, and will surely be among the favourites this weekend having not 𓆏finished a race outside the top-two all season.

Additionally, Ducati won all three races last year with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista was on the podium in the two long races. Only 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes, riding a Kawasaki at the time, was able to break Ducati’s podium monopoly at Cremon꧂a last year when he finished second in the Superpole Race behind Petrucci and ahead of Andre🧸a Iannone.

While Ducati was dominating the 2024 Italian Round, winn♔ing all three races with Danilo Petrucci and securing three out of three podium lockouts, Razgatlioglu, in contrast, never raced at Cremona last year, the race taking place two weeks after his huge Magny-Cours practice crash that saw him miss six races.

“Last ye🧜ar I only rode [at Cremona] one day – I did 40 laps, 50 laps, not more,” Razgatlioglu told WorldSBK.com in preview of the 2025 Italian Round, after finishing eighth in Race 2 at Assen.

“Also, I didn’t race there, I just watched on t🎀he TV.

“I don’t know, I don’t have some idea, we wiꩲll see in Cremona.

“I will just try to do my be🅘st again, but it looks like Ducati is very strong also 🥃last year there.

“But we will see, I hope we finꦜd a good setup immediately and are fighting for the win again.”

Razgatlioglu is not the only big 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike name to be debuting at Cremona this weekend, as six-time ch𝐆ampion Jonathan Rea will return from his two-month injury lay-off and take part in a race weekend for the first time 𝔉on 2–4 May in Lombardy.
