2026 Czech WorldSBK Results, Superpole Race: Bulega leads Ducati top five
Results from the Superpole Race on Sunday morning at the 2026 Czech WorldSBK at Autodrom Most.
Nicolo Bulega took victory in the Superpole Race at Most, the Italian winning by two seconds over Iker Lecuona.
Bulega dropped to third at the start as he ran wide at turn one, but quickly recovered position to find himself in the lead by the third lap. His team-mate Lecuona stuck with Bulega’s pace to begin with, but consistent 1m29s from the Italian saw him pull clear after the halfway point and notch up his 18th consecutive win.
Lecuona’s second place came five seconds ahead of Yari Montella in third, while Lorenzo Baldassarri was fourth and Alberto Surra fended off Garrett Gerloff to complete an all-Ducati top-five.
Gerloff was the leading non-Ducati rider in sixth, ahead of two more Ducatis with Tarran Mackenzie seventh and Tommy Bridewell eighth. Alex Lowes took the final point in ninth, and Michael van der Mark completed the top-10 on the sole BMW.
