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.

FP1 Chaos

There were four red flags in FP1 this morning and five crashers.

The first was Jonathan Rea who escaped unharmed.

Andrea Iannone, though, was ruled out of the weekend after this morning's session when he was diagnosed with two toe fractures following a crash at the final corner.

Remy Gardner also crashed at the final corner and has been diagnosed with multiple contusions.

Andrea Locatelli crashed at turn 17 and has been diagnosed with a left knee contusion.

Nicolo Bulega crashed at turn six and suffered contusions to his left knee and right ankle. He will be reviewed after this FP2 session, which is now under 10 minutes away.

Huge crash for Bulega at turns six & seven. He's conscious but clearly uncomfortable.

10:27

Bautista now fastest on a 1:32.504.

10:27

FP1 restart (2)

We are back underway again in FP1 after the second red flag. 24:21 on the clock.

10:20

Pit lane to open in the next 90 seconds.

10:18

Andrea Locatelli just telling the world feed that Gardner's bike was close to hitting the marshals that were attending Iannone's incident. He also said that the track is quite dirty, and that combined with low track temperatures is making the conditions quite difficult this morning.

10:15

Iannone has been taken to the medical centre for a check-up.

10:07

Gardner has walked away unaided. Iannone has been stood up in the gravel with his helmet off and seemingly favouring his right leg.

10:05
Red flag

We have a second red flag in FP1.

Remy Gardner has crashed at the final corner as well, his bike has ended up next to Iannone's but we haven't seen the Australian's crash.

10:04

Iannone has crashed at the final corner. That's quite a big high-side and he looks in a reasonable amount of discomfort, lying in the gravel.

10:02

Lowes down to a 1:32.860, and Razgatlioglu beats that with a 32.857.

Sofuoglu currently up in third place, albeit 0.7s off Razgatlioglu and Lowes.
