2025 French WorldSBK: Race 1 LIVE UPDATES

Alex Lowes and Andrea Locatelli rounded out the top-three in FP3 this morning and were fast on Friday, too.

Sam Lowes was also up there on pace yesterday, although he was down in 11th this morning.

It was a tough morning for Alvaro Bautista as well with a bike problem in the beginning. He ended the session down in 18th, and was only ninth in FP2 yesterday. As always for Bautista, qualifying will be important for his chances in the races, and it's where many of his weekends have fallen apart this year.

As of yesterday afternoon, the all-time WorldSBK lap record at Magny-Cours belongs to Nicolo Bulega at a 1:35.428.

The Italian is trying to close his 26-point championship deficit to Razgatlioglu this weekend and this morning is after his first pole since Misano.

Fastest in FP3 this morning, Toprak Razgatlioglu is an eight-time winner at Magny-Cours and comes here as favourite for victory.

But despite his success there, Razgatlioglu's never had a pole position at the French track, and is in search of his first one this morning.

Welcome to live coverage of today's WorldSBK action from Magny-Cours. Superpole will be coming up in around 15 minutes at 11:00 local time.
