Alvaro Bautista won the restarted World Superbike Superpole Race Sunday morning at Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto, in Spain. The newly crowned two-time World Champion won the eight-lap race by 1.487 seconds on his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R. It was his seventh Superpole Race win of the season.
Dominique Aegerter was the best of the rest on his GYTR GRT Yamaha YZF-R1, earning his first World Superbike podium finish. Jonathan Rea placed third on his factory Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR.
American Garrett Gerloff crashed out of the race in an incident that also saw Axel Bassani fall.
The original start of the Superbike Race was stopped when Aegerter suffered an engine failure that put fluid down on the track.
