The Circuito do Estoril is hosting the penultimate round of the 2025 World Superbike Championship this weekend, with FP1 starting at 10:35 local time. FP2 is scheduled for later in the afternoon at 15:00. Toprak Razgatlioglu leads the riders’ standings by 36 points ahead of Nicolo Bulega going into this weekend. To clinch the title, Razgatlioglu would need a 26-point gain over Bulega, who won the Superpole Race against Razgatlioglu in the closest finish in World Superbike history last year. The battle for third place involves Danilo Petrucci, Andrea Locatelli, and Alvaro Bautista, with Locatelli and Bautista having a chance to gain ground on Petrucci this weekend. Petrucci and returning rider Iker Lecuona will be evaluated after FP1, with Lecuona making his comeback since a double arm fracture in Balaton last year. Dominique Aegerter is absent this weekend due to a fractured metacarpal sustained in training.
