TGPOne SBK Phillip Island: 'Bulega Dominates, Toprak Resurrects'

The Superbike championship begins in the sign of Nicolò Bulega, absolute ruler of the first day of racing on Saturday at Phillip Island. Toprak chases him and finishes 2nd, while Bautista 3rd completes the Ducati one-two on the podium. An excellent first day also for Danilo Petrucci, who after a difficult start put his own wheels in front of Redding's Ducati Bonovo. In difficulty instead Andrea Iannone, who accused bad sensations in the first half of the race before the flag to flag, thus finishing in 6th position. Locatelli is 7th, best among the Yamaha riders, while Alex Lowes and Bassani bring Bimota into the top ten, 8th and 9th respectively. We comment on the first day of racing on the Australian circuit as usual in the company of Denis Sacchetti.
