2025 Czech WorldSBK: Friday Practice LIVE UPDATES
Live coverage of FP1 and FP2 from the Czech WorldSBK at Autodrom Most.
Autodrom Most hosts the fifth round of the 2025 World Superbike Championship, and its fourth edition of the Czech WorldSBK.
Nicolo Bulega leads the riders' standings heading into this weekend with a 34-point advantage over Toprak Razgatlioglu.
The Turkish rider is the most successful WorldSBK rider at Most having won here eight times, but Bulega comes into the weekend off the back of three wins at Cremona Circuit two weeks ago.
A much more ordinary session this afternoon at Most and it's Toprak Razgatlioglu who takes the top time.
Sam Lowes and Alex Lowes round out the top-three, with Nicolo Bulega and Alvaro Bautista completing the top-five.
Bulega up to fourth with the first lap of his second run, down to a 1:31.635 now.

Zaqhwan Zaidi has crashed at turn 10. Redding passed him on the inside and the Malaysian just slid off on a damp patch.
Scott Redding with the early benchmark in this one, a 1:34.933 is a way off the pace, though. Expect the times to scroll as confidence increases.
Everyone tip-toeing around for the moment, feeling out the conditions.
We have a green light at the end of pit lane and WorldSBK FP2 is underway.
Toprak Razgatlioglu's best time from this morning was a 1:31.687, so that will be the benchmark heading into this afternoon's session.
WorldSSP Superpole finished just now. It was a session that started wet, like this morning's FP, but pole position was set at the end on slicks.
