WorldSBK 2025
Round Six – Misano
WorldSSP300 Race One Report
A ten-rider group settled the spoils on the final of 12 mad laps of Misano with Carter Thompson (MTM Kawasaki) taking the chequered flag by three-tenths of a second. It was the Australians’ first podium of the season, but also Australia’s first success in the series.
Marco Gaggi (Team BrCorse) finished second to take his first podium finish since Portimao 2023. He held off Julio Garcia (Prodina Kawasaki Racing Sport) and Benat Fernandez (Team#109 Retro Traffic Kove) on the final lap.
Jeffrey Buis, four times a race winner this season, recovered from a double long lap penalty to battle in the lead group. The Dutchman ended up in eighth at the flag and claimed eight championship points.
On the final lap Matteo Vannucci (PATA AG Motorsport Italia WorldSSP300) exceeded track limits and was dropped out of the points scoring positions.
Julio Garcia takes the championship lead. He holds a four point advantage over Benat Fernandez with Jeffrey Buis a further point behind.
Carter Thompson (MTM Kawasaki) – P1
“It’s incredible to get my first win of the season. It’s been a difficult season to start the season and this is my first podium of the year but the team have made great steps throughout the season. They’ve helped me a lot and this weekend we’ve made a bit of a breakthrough. I have a lot more feeling on the bike now. I felt like I had good pace today and we had a great setup. I had a little bit extra speed in me in the race and I was just sitting in the group to manage the race. It’s always difficult to try and separate yourself from the group so on the final lap I just pushed as hard as I could and hoped to open a gap.”
Thompson’s victory promoted him from seventh in the championship standings up to fifth. Competitors will line up for another 12-lap bout at Misano on Sunday.
