Overview
- Sunday morning's WorldSBK Tissot Superpole Race saw Nicolo Bulega take victory and set a new lap record of 1'34.525 on the Ducati Panigale V4 R.
- Bulega followed that with a commanding Race 2 win to complete a hat-trick of victories at the Estoril round, pulling clear of teammate Iker Lecuona at the finish.
- Iker Lecuona finished second in both the Superpole Race and Race 2, while Alberto Surra used a late move to deny home rider Miguel Oliveira a podium in the Superpole Race and then held third in Race 2.
- The weekend adds to Bulega's record-setting 2026 campaign, with official figures showing him leading the championship on 639 points, 141 ahead of Lecuona on 498.
- The Estoril results reinforce a season-long pattern that crystallized at Cremona when Bulega clinched the title, underscoring Ducati's race pace and the Panigale V4 R's recurring technical advantage over rivals.
