The 2026 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship has seen records once thought unassailable shattered, and some of the paddock’s newer faces soar to new heights. Now, however, with five rounds remaining, there are already several titles and awards up for grabs at Donington Park in the Prosecco DOC UK Round. WorldSSP remains too close for any title or award to be decided; however, WorldSBK and WorldWCR both have Championships and awards that can be claimed with the right outcomes.
DUCATI DOMINANCE IN WORLD SUPERBIKE
Following Saturday’s action at Donington Park, Ducati have a 258-point lead over Bimota in the Riders’ Championship, thanks to the points scored by both Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) and teammate Iker Lecuona. The Manufacturers’ Championship can be won in Race 2 if they leave Donington with a 248-point lead.
In the Teams’ Championship, Aruba.it Racing – Ducati are in pole position to wrap it up at Donington. They currently lead the bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team by a mammoth 492 points. This title can be won in the Tissot Superpole Race if they finish that race 489 points clear, or in Race 2 if they have a 444-point advantage.
HERRERA’S ERA IN WorldWCR?
After a dramatic Race 1 at Donington Park, Maria Herrera (Terra & Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR) has got one hand and four fingers on the Championship trophy. She has a 49-point lead over Beatriz Neila (Ampito Crescent Yamaha) heading into Race 2 and will be crowned Champion if she leaves the UK with a 50-point advantage or more; effectively, she has to score one more point than Neila.
