Championship point leader Nicolo Bulega broke the All-Time Lap Record and claimed pole position during World Supersport Superpole qualifying Saturday at Misano World Circuit – Marco Simoncelli, in Rimini, San Marino.
Riding his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V2, Bulega navigated the 2.6-mile (4.2 km) circuit in 1:36.495, which was significantly quicker than Dominique Aegerter’s 2022 All-Time Lap Record of 1:37.173.
In addition to breaking the lap record, Bulega out-qualified the next-fastest rider, Federico Caricasulo, by 0.617 second.
Former MotoAmerica regular Valentin Debise, who rides for the GMT94 Racing Yamaha team, will miss this round due to “health issues,” according to a post on his social media.
