ROUND 12 / OCTOBER 15-17, 2021 CIRCUITO SAN JUAN VILLICUM / SAN JUAN, ARGENTINA P64 ROAD RACE I FIM SUPERBIKE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WorldSBK Race One 1. Toprak Razgatlioglu (Yam) 2. Jonathan Rea (Kaw) 3. M. Ruben Rinaldi (Duc) 4. Alex Lowes (Kaw) 5. Axel Bassani (Duc) Superpole Race 1. Toprak Razgatlioglu (Yam) 2. Scott Redding (Duc) 3. Jonathan Rea (Kaw) 4. Axel Bassani (Duc) 5. M. van der Mark (BMW) Race Two 1. Scott Redding (Duc) 2. Jonathan Rea (Kaw) 3. Toprak Razgatlioglu (Yam) 4. Axel Bassani (Duc) 5. M. Ruben Rinaldi (Duc) for Cluzel now, and a career-best second for Oncu. In third place, Aegerter won the championship, at 31 years of age, and after just missing the MotoE title recently. Odendaal had got back on his bike, worked his way into the points but fell on his own, then had to retire in the pits. "I worked 31 years—or at least 20, 25 years—to become World Champion, and now I am," Aegerter said. "When signing the contract with Ten Kate Rac- ing, I knew that we had a world championship-winning team and a championship-winning bike." There's one more round to go but as is stands Aegerter has an unassailable 381 points, Odendaal 68 behind on 313. CN for his trouble, finished third. Dominique Aegerter (Ten Kate Yamaha) and Steven Odendaal (Evan Bros Yamaha) had weird opening races, with Odendaal repeatedly running wide and let- ting several riders past, including Aegerter. Despite setting his best lap of the race late on, fifth-placed Aegerter was finally re-passed by Odendaal in fourth, who clawed back a couple of points in the champion- ship fight, leaving things beautifully poised for a Sunday showdown. It was a shame it lasted one corner before Gonzalez got over- ambitions and skittled Odendaal— of all people—and held up most of the field as Cluzel and Oncu made an escape. Four Argentinean wins from four ROAD RACE I Dominique Aegerter became the first Swiss rider to win the WorldSSP title.
