The 2026 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship continues in Italy as the Cremona Circuit welcomes WorldSBK, WorldSSP and WorldSPB. At such a crucial stage in the season – just visits to Estoril and Jerez remain after (except WorldSPB, which will go straight to Jerez), which means plenty of titles can be won at the EICMA Italian Round.
HOW CAN BULEGA BE CHAMPION?
Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) is the Champion-elect, but he can knock off the ‘-elect’ part on Sunday. With Lecuona winning Race 1, the #7 has clawed five points back, but ‘Bulegas’ can still be crowned Champion. If he wins the Tissot Superpole Race and Lecuona is sixth or worse, or Bulega finishes second with Lecuona ninth or worse, he will be Champion then. If that doesn’t happen, Bulega will be Champion in Race 2 if he is 124 points clear of Lecuona at the chequered flag.
INDEPENDENT TEAMS’ BATTLE
Barni Spark Racing Team could be celebrating on home soil as well. Marco Barnabo’s team could win the Independent Teams’ Championship in the Superpole Race if they are 149 points clear of ELF Marc VDS Racing Team, or in Race 2 if they are 124 points clear after Race 2. The gap heading into Sunday’s action is 158 points in favour of Barni Ducati.
WORLD SUPERSPORT TITLES
Every Championship in WorldSSP can be won at Cremona. Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) can win the Riders’ Championship if he leaves Cremona with 101 points in hand over his rivals. To achieve this on Sunday, he needs to win the race with Debise not scoring – the #75 currently leads Debise by 77 points and needs to be 101 clear after Race 2. In the Manufacturers’ Championship, Yamaha will win if they outscore Ducati by 19 points in Race 2. The Teams’ Championship can be won by the AS BLU CRU Racing Team if they leave Cremona 181 points clear of their rivals. The current gap, after Race 1, is 163 points, meaning they can win it by outscoring the EASTROC ZXMOTO Evan Bros Factory squad by 18 points in Race 2.
