The WorldSBK Superpole session at the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto during the 2026 championship delivered intense action as riders pushed the limits to secure the best possible grid positions. The atmosphere at the Spanish venue reached a fever pitch right from the green light, setting the stage for a crucial battle among world-class Superbike stars aiming for ultimate single-lap glory.
Factory standout Nicolo Bulega proved completely untouchable during this decisive qualifying hour. Leveraging the peak performance of his Ducati Panigale V4 R machine, he unleashed a stunning lap time of 1:36.643 to comfortably seal pole position ahead of a competitive chasing pack.
Claiming a strong second place on the timesheets, Sam Lowes displayed impressive pace with the Marc VDS Racing Team. The British rider secured a front-row start after clocking a 1:36.960, finishing roughly three-tenths adrift of the benchmark set by the pole-sitter.

Rounding out the front row in third position was Iker Lecuona, putting in a solid effort aboard his Ducati hardware. The stellar performance of the Borgo Panigale machinery underlined their early weekend momentum as teams prepared for the upcoming championship races.
Meanwhile, fierce battles unfolded further down the order as contenders like Yari Montella and Alex Lowes fought hard to extract every ounce of performance from their respective packages. The entire field now shifts full attention toward the main races, where tire strategy and race craft will dictate the ultimate winners.
