After 11 weekends and 33 races held, the Superbike World Championship arrives at the Jerez-Ángel Nieto Circuit with the title to be decided. It will be in the last round of the season in which we will see one of the two candidates become champion. Toprak Razgatlioglu arrives as the leader and has the most options, but Nicolo Bulega could turn the situation around if there is something unforeseen in the case of the BMW driver.
And Toprak has a 39-point advantage after the Estoril event, which will allow him to be conservative and wait for what Bulega does. Meanwhile, the Italian only has to win the three races and wait for events. In fact, in Saturday’s race Razgatlioglu could already be champion if he is able to maintain the lead above 37 points. That is, if he remains ahead of him he will be champion.
While the fight for the title is less close, the battle for third position is much more open. Álvaro Bautista occupies third position, but only eight points ahead of Andrea Locatelli and Danilo Petrucci, so both the Spaniard and the two Italians will have a lot to say on the track. Of course, Petrucci, in his last race with BMW, will also have to deal with the injury that prevented him from racing last weekend in Estoril and for which he underwent surgery this week.
Another focus of the weekend will be, without a doubt, Jonathan Rea’s last race as a professional driver. The Northern Irishman faces his last weekend in competition and after two hard years with Yamaha he will hang up his suit after the second of the Jerez races to leave a legacy that will be very difficult to equal or surpass.
Details of the Jerez Circuit – Ángel Nieto
After coming from a classic like Estoril we arrived at another classic like Jerez. What can we say about one of the most iconic tracks of recent decades? In recent times it has tried to adapt to the needs in terms of safety, where it is not at the level of the most modern circuits taking into account current features, but in terms of layout it is a real delight.
It has different clear overtaking points such as turn 1, 2, 6 or 13, but there are also risky opportunities at other points such as turn 9 or even turn 5 if you go in “all or nothing” mode, although it is very complicated with large bikes. In any case, and now that it has been celebrating 40 years, it can be said that it has aged well and the combination of strong braking, slow curves and medium-high speed curves that require a lot of confidence are a real joy.
Where to see Superbike Jerez 2025
Having the races at a home circuit makes the best way to enjoy both what happens on the track and what happens off the track much better on the circuit itself. But if you cannot “go down to Jerez” there are multiple options and several of them are completely free.
The simplest and most complete way to follow the races is once again DAZN, where all you have to do is create an account to access the full broadcast, without having to pay a subscription. The platform will offer all sessions live, from free practice to qualifying and the weekend races.
Another free option is Teledeporte, which will broadcast the events both on its television channel and through RTVE Play, the public channel’s online platform, perfect for watching the championship from any device and location.
Those who prefer payment options also have alternatives: Eurosport will broadcast the World Cup on Eurosport 1 and 2, in addition to including it in the MAX application. And for the most hardcore fans, the official WSBK Videopass remains the most complete choice, with access to all sessions and exclusive additional content.
