Results from the FP2 session at the 2025 Spanish WorldSBK at Jerez, the final round of the 2025 season.

Nicolo Bulega topped the FP2 session at Jerez despite suffering a mechanical issue during his first run. The Italian was lapping consistently in the mid-to-high-1:38s before suffering a water leak, as later reported by the WorldSBK world feed broadcast.

Bulega was able to get back out on-track after the issue and improved his time by just over a-tenth-of-a-second in all, ending with a 1:38.668 that was just under a tenth slower than his best effort from the morning.

Sam Lowes was one of only a few riders to improve his time from the morning to the afternoon, and was only the third rider - after Bulega and Toprak Razgatlioglu - to lap in the 1:38s.

Andrea Iannone suffered a crash at turn 11 but finished FP2 third-fastest ahead of Razgatlioglu, who generally struggled in the session and completed only the same number of laps as Bulega despite the Italian's mechanical issue.

Ryan Vickers put in a strong late lap to end fifth-fastest ahead of Alex Lowes, Andrea Locatelli, Michael van der Mark, Jonathan Rea, and Axel Bassani who completed the top-10.

Michael Ruben Rinaldi was another crasher in FP2, going down, like Iannone, at turn 11. He was taken to the medical centre and declared fit.

FP1

Nicolo Bulega topped what was a fairly uneventful opening session of the final round of the 2025 WorldSBK season. Toprak Razgatlioglu ran the Italian close, finishing only 0.088 seconds behind.

Xavi Vierge was third-fastest but unable to join the top-two in the 1:38s. He was ahead of Andrea Iannone and Sam Lowes in the top-five, while Alex Lowes completed the top-six.

Yari Montella was ahead of the soon-retiring Jonathan Rea in eighth, while bronze medal contenders Alvaro Bautista and Andrea Locatelli were ninth and 10th, respectively.

There were crashes for Danilo Petrucci's fill-in Nicholas Spinelli, and for wildcard Lukas Tulovic.
