2026 WorldSBK Championship standings – Round 7 Misano World Circuit "Marco Simoncelli"

Bulega continues to break records in 2026 as he builds his title lead at home

With the mayhem at the Misano World Circuit "Marco Simoncelli" winding down, the Riders’ Championship standings now have their latest coat of paint. Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) maintains his Championship lead as he remained untouchable in 2026, breaking the record after Race 2 for the most hat-tricks in a single season with his tally now seven triples and running. There was movement farther back, however, including Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) and Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) moving up a spot as Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) slides back to fifth. Thanks to his strong riding at home, Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) moves up a position past Lorenzo Baldassarri (Team GoEleven).
