Nicolo Bulega continued his imperious form at Phillip Island, claiming victory in a dramatic Superpole Race that saw the field battle both each other and unpredictable light rain. Despite a difficult start that saw him drop to fourth on the opening lap, the Aruba.it Racing - Ducati rider methodically carved his way back to the front, taking the lead on the fourth lap and never looking back.
The race was a milestone for the new Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team, as Axel Bassani secured the manufacturer's first-ever WorldSBK podium by claiming second place. Bassani engaged in a fierce battle with teammate Alex Lowes and Barni Spark’s Yari Montella, eventually breaking away to shadow Bulega to the line. Alex Lowes rounded out the podium in third, making it a historic double rostrum for the Bimota project in only its first weekend of competition.
