It was a treble for Bulega at the French Round as he got closer and closer to the 2026 title…

The Acerbis French Round is done and dusted for the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, with Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) claiming a dominant hat-trick at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours. He did face some challenge from teammate Iker Lecuona, who made it three P2 finishes, while the three third-place finishes were split between Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) and Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team). It means Bulega will have the chance to be crowned Champion on home soil at Cremona. Check out the impact on the Championship standings below.
