Ducati’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike riders have addressed the perfor💫mance of the brand at the opening round of the 2025 WorldSBK season, which prompted an outburst from BMW’s Toprak Razgatlioglu, the reigning World Champion.

The Turkish rider scored no points on Sunday, finishing 12th in the Superpole Race after running wide at turn four on the opening lap, and retiring from Race 2 with a technical problem. He now finds h🐻imself 42 points behind Nicolo Bulega, who won all three races fꦍor the first time in his career at Phillip Island.

In contrast, Bulega’s and Ducati’s weekend was exceptional, with top-five lockouts in both Sunday races for the Bologna brand, which also took five of the top six positions in Saturday’s Race 1 (when Razgatlioglu was the only non-Ducati in the top-six 🐼in second place).

Ducati’s dominance caused Razgatlioglu to🌸 call WorldSBK “almost a Ducati Cup” 🅠after Race 2, and to suggest that he could quit the series if the Italian f🌟actory’s dominance continues.

Bul💝ega, though, felt tha🤪t the scale of Ducati’s supremacy in Australia was more track-specific.

“I just think, if you see also in the ꦓpast, Ducati is always very good in this circuit, I don’t know why,” he said.

“Me, too, because I always go fast in this circuit, because it’s my favourite. So, this weekend me and ⭕Ducati was a good combination in this trac🍸k.

“Honestly, I🐼 don’t think we will be so strong everywhere, because it’s almost impossible. But, for sure, we will work hard to try to stay competitive.”

Bulega’s Aruba.it Racing Ducati teammate, Alvaro Bautista, shared a similar opinion, and said he expects Razgatlioglu to be stronger in the raꦿces🃏 coming up.

“It’s very soon to say about the championship, especially💙 because this track [Phillip Island] is a bit special, it’s very different from the others,” the two-time WorldSBK Champion said.

“𒈔Also, we had tests at the beginning of the week, so it’s not like a [normal] track, especially because Nicolo [Bulega] is really fast here – he will be fast everywhere; but🎉 I think Toprak [Razgatlioglu] struggled in this circuit, but in the next one in Portimao he is stronger.

“So, I don’t know if this is the reality of the c𒀰hampionship, we have to wait a couple of races more to see what is the real condition of every rider and the real 🍸performance of each one.”

Andrea Iannone was the closest rider to Bulega for most of the week in Australia, before Bautista made a step in Race 2 to establish himself i💝n second place, demoting Iannone to third.

The Go Eleven Ducati rider also felt that the Phillip Island circuit is one that suits the Panꦐigale V4 R, but also said that Ducati’s rider line-up is a 💟factor in the brand’s performance.

“I think Phillip Island is a good track for us,” he said. “The Ducati for sure is a good bike, but I think also the riders on Ducati [are at] a really good level because everybody in the past fought for top positions,🍃 also in the MotoGP paddock.

“I think this is not a point o💝f view, this is the reality.

“ওI think the package is good, but I think every race [will not be] like this.”

Ducati riders point to Phillip Island track specifics

Iannone’s fellow s♊atellite Ducati rider, Danilo Petrucci, was clearly unopposed to the position the Bologna brand held in A🍨ustralia.

“For sure, Phillip Island is special, here the Ducati is going well, but I w🐟ould like to see this kind of performance in all the weekends,” he said, “maybe improving [my] result, stand on the podium and maybe catch anothe𒅌r victory soon.”

Finally, Scott Redding – who rejoined the Ducati stable for this year with the MGM Bonovo team after spending three years at BMW – a𝐆greed with his colleagues that the circuit at Phillip Island was a factor in Ducati’s performance at the opening round of 2025, but added that weather conditions, and the specific format of the races at the Australian venue that 🌼this year mandated a pit stop in the two full-length races, perhaps also played to the Panigale’s strengths.

“I think this track is a little bit special, also the nature of the circuit is suiting a bit the Ducati more, and then the temperatures are playi🌊ng and the wind and the flag-to-flag – there’s a lot of things that are coming in💖to it,” Redding said.

“I think when we get back to Europe it🃏 will change a bit more, I think we’ll see more from Bimota, more fr💞om Yamaha.

“So, it will beꦉ some interesting🔯 races coming up for sure.”
