· Toprak Razgatlıoğlu (BMW) dominated WorldSBK Race1 at Magny-Cours, taking the win a full eight seconds ahead of Nicolò Bulega (Ducati), second, and Alex Lowes (Bimota), third. The winner started from pole position using the SC2 at the front and the E0126 supersoft development at the rear, a choice also shared by his teammate, Michael Van der Mark, and Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki). The other two riders on the podium – as well as the rest of the grid – opted for the SC1 at the front. Winner Razgatlioğlu also retouched the race record lap with the 1’35.642 set on lap five, improving Álvaro Bautista’s previous record of 2023 by almost four and a half tenths.
· Razgatlioğlu was also the fastest in Superpole, scoring a time of 1:34.930, which counts as a new all-time lap record, and improving Garrett Gerloff’s 2023 record by a good half a second. This result was obtained using the SC1 at the front and E0479 extrasoft development on the rear.
· This was the eighth win of the season for Stefano Manzi (Yamaha) in WorldSSP Race1, who took the victory using front SC1 and rear SCX tyres, the same combination chosen by all the riders on the grid. Behind him were Can Oncu, second, and Alberto Surra, third, also on Yamaha. With a time of 1’39.442, which is also the new all-time lap record for the Supersport class, improving Adrian Huertas’ last year record by two and a half tenths, Oncu also took pole.
