Superpole SBK in Cremona: Bulega on pole, disaster for Bassani and Petrucci

The 15 minutes that determine the starting grid have concluded: here are the positions of all the riders.

The Superpole SBK session in Cremona has ended: the Lombardy track, new for many riders, allows no more mistakes. The starting grid for Race 1 and the Superpole Race has now been set.

Nicolò Bulega continues to dominate the first of two Italian weekends, completing his fastest lap in 1:27.866. With this lap, the previous track record was officially broken, once again proving how dominant our fellow countryman is in the category. Alongside him, Sam Lowes (2nd) and Toprak Razgatlioglu (3rd) also confirm their competitiveness.

A late crash by Aegerter caused the cancellation of several laps and created significant traffic, which Danilo Petrucci got caught in: the former winner at the Cremona Circuit will now have to completely rebuild his weekend, starting from 13th position in all three races.

Lining up just ahead of “Petrux” will be Axel Bassani: the Bimota rider couldn’t replicate his performance from yesterday’s FP2 session, qualifying twelfth overall.

Starting grid: from first to ninth position.
