The WorldSBK Superpole session at Circuito do Estoril for the tenth round of the 2026 world championship delivered an intense battle on track. Nicolo Bulega stole the spotlight in the paddock with a brilliant performance aboard his Ducati Panigale V4 R. The Italian rider not only secured pole position but also shattered the lap record at the legendary circuit.
The dominance of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer became even more apparent as Iker Lecuona claimed second place on the starting grid, handing a strategic advantage to the Aruba.it Racing Ducati garage. This strong morning showing proved how the Ducati package adapts optimally to the high-speed corner demands of Estoril.
Meanwhile, the battle at the front was spiced up by Alex Lowes taking third place for the Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team. Riding the Bimota KB998, he mounted a fierce challenge amidst a sea of Ducati riders locking out the upper echelons of the important qualifying session.

Tight battles also unfolded further down the order as riders fought tooth and nail for ideal grid slots to avoid early race congestion. Alberto Surra and home favorite Miguel Oliveira rounded out the top five, showcasing competitive potential ahead of the main races.
With the exceptional lap time set during this Superpole session, the tension for the 2026 WorldSBK championship fight is guaranteed to rise heading into the races at Estoril. Teams must now finalize their tire strategies and race pace management for the crucial encounters ahead.
