With the 2024 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship wrapped up, it’s time to break down the final head-to-head results from a season that delivered unforgettable moments. Who came out on top in the tightest battles, especially among teammates? Here are the highlights.

Bulega dominates Superpole: 12-0 over Bautista, closer in races

Nicolo Bulega had a spectacular rookie season, shining in Superpole with an impressive 12-0 against his teammate and two-time champion Álvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati). However, races were more competitive, with Bautista closing the gap to 16-20 by season’s end. Bulega finished as the runner-up in the Championship with an average position of 3.37, compared to Bautista’s 4.96. In Superpole, Bulega’s average was 2.25, well ahead of Bautista’s 9.5.

Razgatlioglu beats Van der Mark: 28-2 for the champion

It was no surprise that Toprak Razgatlioglu outperformed Michael van der Mark at ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team after securing the title. In the 30 comparable races – excluding France and Italy, where Razgatlioglu was injured – the Turk led 28-2. Superpole was even more one-sided: 10-0. The champion averaged 52.7 points per round (excluding the missed rounds), the highest since the introduction of the three-race weekend format.

Lowes outshines Bassani: 12-0 in Superpole, 29-7 in races

With years of experience on the ZX-10RR, Alex Lowes dominated Axel Bassani, who was in his debut season with Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK. Lowes took every Superpole comparison (12-0) and finished ahead in 29-7 races. Lowes’ average finishing position was 5.04, compared to Bassani’s 11.79. In Superpole, the gap was even wider: 4.58 for Lowes against Bassani’s 13.5.

Locatelli surpasses Rea: 24-9 in favor of the Italian

Andrea Locatelli (Pata Prometeon Yamaha) had a clear advantage over his teammate Jonathan Rea during a challenging season for the six-time champion. In 33 comparable races – Rea missed Cremona due to injury – Locatelli led 24-9. Superpole results were 8-3 in Locatelli’s favor, with Rea openly admitting difficulties adapting to the Yamaha R1. Locatelli’s average finish was 7.45, compared to Rea’s 10.13.

Lecuona leads at Honda: Advantage in races, tied in Superpole

At Honda, Iker Lecuona edged out Xavi Vierge in races with an 18-12 record. However, Superpole comparisons ended in a 5-5 tie. This closeness is reflected in their averages: Lecuona’s finishing position was 9.88, compared to Vierge’s 10.9. In Superpole, Lecuona averaged 14.10, slightly behind Vierge’s 12.25.
