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 restart

FP1 has restarted in Most after that red flag.

09:51
Red flag

There's a red flag with 30:09 on the clock. Looks like it's for the gravel on the track after Rea's crash - there's quite a mess down there at 8 & 9.

09:49

Jonathan Rea has crashed at turns eight and nine. He's lost the rear but somewhat fortunately it's just spun out underneath him rather than high-siding him. 

He's about as far away as he can get from the pits there, and with service road around Most and only 30 minutes on the clock there's a decent chance he won't get that bike back this morning.

09:47

Alex Lowes cuts his leading time down to a 1:33.307. He's got 1.4 seconds on the field, but only eight riders have set times so far.

Razgatlioglu just heading out now for the first time this morning.

09:42

First times coming in now and it's Alex Lowes on top at the moment. A 1:36.836 is around six seconds off lap record pace, though, so plenty more improvement to come from the track.

09:39

Some early out-in laps completed but no times on the board yet.

09:36
FP1 start

We have a green light at the end of pit lane and WorldSBK FP1 is underway. Only Montella heading out with much immediacy.

09:30
Weather

It's been a bit of a damp start in Most. WorldSSP practice just finished, though, and by the end some were able to get out on slicks although they were still six seconds off lap record pace.

09:16

Welcome to live coverage of today's WorldSBK practices. The schedule is a little later than usual for a European round this morning, with FP1 getting underway at 10:35 local time rather than the usual 10:20.

FP2 will be up later today at the usual time of 15:00 local.
