FRENCH ROUND | SATURDAY
September 6, 2025
The Sunday of the French Round of WorldSBK ended with Alvaro Bautista in fourth place.
Bautista was determined to make up positions on the grid and got off to a good start in the Superpole Race. After a few overtakes, however, he was betrayed by Rea’s sudden braking and crashed, forcing him to line up once again in 14th position.
In Race 2, he staged a remarkable comeback: his race pace was incisive and allowed him to make up position after position. With six laps to go, he took fourth place and tried to attack Lowes (Bimota) for the podium, but the gap was now unbridgeable.

ALVARO BAUTISTA
“It was a difficult round in which we had a lot of bad luck. In both Race 1 and the Superpole Race, I had to deal with two crashes that prevented me from staying on track and fighting for points. Fortunately, nothing happened in Race 2, and I even enjoyed myself in many battles, but they cost me precious time that I needed to get closer to the podium. We are going to Aragon with the desire to get back to achieving important results.“.
