The Ducati-Bulega duo dominated the first day of free practice at Phillip Island, confirming how strong this pair is at least in the first round of World SBK 2025. Nicolò dictated the pace in no uncertain terms, being extremely fast on both dry lap and race pace. Toprak and the BMW will try to sell their skin dearly and Andrea Iannone will undoubtedly be one of the special observers both in qualifying and in the three races.
Bautista for now does not seem to be able to undermine the dominance of the three rivals by observing his pace, but intrusions into the upper echelons are also possible from Petrucci and an Alex Lowes who has been going strong with the Bimota and in Australia is always ready to offer performances over the top. Yamaha also didn't do too badly, placing a decent churn with the always concrete Domi Aegerter and who had impressed here in 2024 with Locatelli. We are told everything directly from Phillip Island by our correspondent Riccardo Guglielmetti and Denis Sacchetti of Go Eleven.
