2025 Portuguese World Superbike: Race 1 As It Happened

And there's another lap record from Razgatlioglu - a 1:39.133 puts him at the top of this Superpole session by 0.775 seconds over his BMW teammate.

The first lap times are coming in now and it's Remy Gardner who has set the early pace with a 1:40.031.

The green light is lit at the end of pit lane and we are underway for WorldSBK Superpole.

Andrea Iannone has been handed a three-place grid penalty after being caught riding too slowly in FP3 this morning.

Remember, there is no SCQ tyre available this weekend, so it will be the SCX tyre that the riders will be using to achieve their peak lap times in this upcoming Superpole session, which is now only five minutes away from beginning.

As yesterday, conditions look more or less perfect in Portimao, a stark contrast the conditions found in the two tests that have taken place here so far this year.

Although Nicolo Bulega enters this weekend with a championship lead large enough to mean that he will start the Superpole Race tomorrow morning with the points lead regardless of what happens in today's Race 1, it's Toprak Razgatlioglu who has been the dominant force so far in Portugal.

Despite missing FP1 through technical problems with his BMW, he was the only rider in the 1:39s yesterday, and set a new outright lap record in this morning's FP3 at 1:39.446.

So far, only Danilo Petrucci has been able to join Razgatlioglu in the 1:39s, the Italian doing that this morning with a 1:39.802.

Welcome to live coverage of this morning's WorldSBK Superpole session from Portimao, set to get underway in just under 10 minutes' time at 11:00 local time.
