At 15:30, Race 1 of the Superbike at Balaton Park will get underway, but the starting grid has changed: here are the penalties and the reasons behind them.

This afternoon, the first points of the Hungarian weekend will be awarded. Starting once again from pole position will be Nicolò Bulega. The front row will be made up of three Italians, with Baldassarri ready to start from second place and Montella occupying third.

WorldSBK in Hungary: penalties

The second row, however, changes, with Oliveira (4th), Locatelli (5th), and Sam Lowes (6th). Iker Lecuona drops to eighth position, losing three places on the starting grid due to riding too slowly during Superpole. Alongside the Team Aruba rider will be Alberto Surra (7th) and Alvaro Bautista (9th).

The same penalty also affects Remy Gardner, who falls from fourteenth to seventeenth place. All Yamaha riders, except Locatelli, will therefore start from the sixth and seventh rows.
