The WorldSBK Superpole rules could be under discussion at the next round of the 2025 season, according to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci.

Petrucci, who won all three races at the 2024 edition of the Italian 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Round at Cremona Circuit, miꦉssed the podium in all three races at last weekend’s 2025 edition.

The Italian was fourth in Race 2 when he started from the second row of the grid after the Superpole Race, but was compromised in Race 1🅘 by a 13th-place grid position.

This was bec🍬ause Petrucci “did just one lap” in the Superpole session as a result of yellow flags and traffic.

It was a situation💧 that caused the Barni Ducati 🔜rider to consider if the rules for Superpole need changing.

“The problems started ▨in qualifying,” Petrucci told WorldSBK.com of his weekend at the🐷 Italian WorldSBK.

“At the end I did justဣ one lap, in 15 minutes I did one lap because of traffic, yellow flags, and so on.

“In fact, we want to talk a bit for the next race to change the rules –🧔 all the riders together – because it’s a shame that we have just 15 minutes and maybe four l𝄹aps to do our time and then you can waste a weekend.”

Petrucci didn’t explain exactly what he wanted to be changed in the rules, but clarified that he didn’t think a be♔tter qua🥃lifying would have given him the chance to be on the podium.

“I don’t think so,” he said൲, “because today I had the chance to follow Bautista, he was like one second or 1.5 seconds [ahead of] me, but then lap-by-lap he started to gain some time, creating a gap, and he was faster.”

WorldSBK’s next race is at the A💮utodrom Most in the Czech Republic, where Petrucci has been on the podium th🦩ree times in the four full-length races he’s run there, including in both Race 1 and Race 2 in 2023.
