Tension is at its peak at the Circuit Nevers Magny-Cours. Nicolo Bulega arrives as Friday's fastest rider, but discomfort still lingers. Now he eyes history: no one has ever won Superpole at the opening nine rounds of a WorldSBK season — Jonathan Rea holds the record with eight back in 2021.

Setup Dilemma and Future Speculation

Sam Lowes and Iker Lecuona are lurking behind. Lecuona has even brought setup elements from his MotoGP experience with Gresini to his WorldSBK machine this weekend. Meanwhile, six Ducatis dominate the top seven in FP2, with Xavi Vierge as the only non-Ducati in fourth place.

Vierge's future is at the centre of speculation involving Jack Miller and a potential move to Barni Ducati. What's clear is that the former Moto2 rider insists he will stay in WorldSBK next season. Outside the top ten, Jake Dixon impressed with an 11th-place finish in both Friday sessions, claiming he made 'a step forward' after the summer break.

Two Riders Absent, Field Reduced

Superpole, scheduled for 11:15 local time, will proceed without two riders. Tarran Mackenzie was declared unfit on Thursday, while Bahattin Sofuoglu suffered a concussion from his second crash at Turn 1 in FP2. Race 1 is scheduled for later this afternoon at 15:30 local time.
