The 2025 WorldSBK season arrives in Italy. In Cremona everything is ready for a highly anticipated weekend.

The WorldSBK paddock finally arrives in Italy at the Cremona Circuit. There is considerable anticipation for the Italian Round, which is expected to be well-attended.

Following the unfortunate Sunday at Assen, Nicolò Bulega aims to return to the track to score crucial points and defend his championship lead, currently 21 points ahead of Razgatlioglu (BMW).

There are also high expectations for Alvaro Bautista, fresh from his second place in Race-2 at Assen, and a protagonist last year at the Cremona weekend when he finished twice on the podium.

"I am thrilled to be in Cremona. I know there will be a lot of fans and I'll also have a lot of friends coming to see me. This is not one of my favourite circuits because it doesn't suit my riding style. But we certainly have high expectations for the weekend."

"At the start of the season, we haven't managed to find continuity in terms of results. However, we still have the certainty of a feeling that has grown compared to last year. It's not an easy circuit for us, and for this reason, it will be crucial to ride well from the start of free practices. We certainly don't lack confidence".
