The Superbike World Championship arrives at Balaton Park, and exposes the true essence of racing: the ability to evolve round after round.

In Hungary, Kawasaki faced a previously unmapped surface, turning every session into a dynamic laboratory to refine the performance of our Ninja machinery and meet an unprecedented technical challenge.

In the premier class, Garrett Gerloff delivered a masterclass in progression. After a cautious approach in Race 1, finishing thirteenth, the American rider decoded the characteristics of his setup during the Superpole Race to climb into eighth. The weekend reached its peak in Race 2, where clean riding and impeccable management propelled him to a final fifth position. Finishing as the fastest rider among non-Ducati manufacturers is a clear signal of the strength of our technical package and the team’s ability to react in real time.

In the Supersport category, focus centered on Jeremy Alcoba’s raw grit and Dominique Aegerter’s unshakable determination. Jeremy nearly pulled off a podium finish in Race 1, placing fourth and less than a second off the winner, while setting blistering lap times. Even in a more contested Race 2, he secured a seventh place that highlights his competitive maturity. Dominique Aegerter played a game of pure resilience, battling through heavy traffic to finish both heats in the points with a twelfth and fifteenth place. The Hungarian weekend provides us with invaluable data and the certainty that our path to the top is built on constant evolution.
