The 2025 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship (WSBK) reaches its 12th and final round at Spain’s Jerez Circuit from 17–19 October, where Türkiye’s Toprak Razgatlioglu is set to go for the title. The Jerez layout measures 4,423 km (2,748 mile) and will stage free practice on Friday before the decisive weekend races unfold.

Points cushion sets the tone

Riding for ROKiT BMW Motorrad and competing as a Red Bull athlete, Razgatlioglu enters Jerez with 580 points, holding a 39-point lead over his nearest rival. The 2021 and 2024 world champion is positioned to fight for a third world title when the lights go out in Race 1 on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. (Türkiye local time).

Timetable to decide the championship

Under the coordination of National Teams Captain Kenan Sofuoglu, Razgatlioglu will take part in free practice on Friday, race for the championship on Saturday at 3:00 p.m., then return on Sunday for the Superpole Race at 12:00 p.m. and the season’s final main race at 3:00 p.m.

Superpole in WSBK is a short sprint that sets grid positions and awards additional championship points, shaping the stakes for the main race later the same day.
