Nicolo Bulega once again showcased his supremacy in WorldSBK. Despite another dominant display at Magny-Cours, the 2026 world title is not yet officially his.
The Ducati rider now holds a commanding lead over his teammate, Iker Lecuona, with a 146-point gap. However, that advantage is still not enough to mathematically clinch the championship.
Golden Opportunity at Home
The big chance could come at the next round in Cremona. This circuit is home turf for the Aruba.it and Ducati team, who will arrive with the ambition of sealing the title in front of their own fans.
If Bulega delivers a solid result in Cremona, he could secure the crown earlier than scheduled. The pressure now shifts to Lecuona, who must perform flawlessly to keep the fight alive.
Battle Behind the Leaders
Behind the two Ducati riders, Yari Montella continues to solidify third place with 247 points. Meanwhile, Lorenzo Baldassarri and Axel Bassani are locked in a tight fight for sixth and seventh.
The midfield battle is also intriguing, with names like Garrett Gerloff and Alberto Surra consistently scoring valuable points. Every race is now crucial with only three rounds remaining on the calendar.
