FORM GUIDE: More records hang in the balance ahead of a historic Czech Round fast approaching
Check out the Czech Round by the numbers as the field prepares for the sixth-ever trip to the Autodrom Most
With Balaton Park in the rear-view mirror, the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship field rides to Czechia and the Autodrom Most for the sixth edition of the Czech Round. Nicolo Bulega's title campaign faces another tough test, as several riders on the grid have an affinity for the track's unique layout.
1000 – In 2022, Ducati celebrated their 1000th WorldSBK podium at Most, thanks to a win by Alvaro Bautista (Barni Spark Racing Team) in Race 1.
10/206 – Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) has led all but 10 laps out of the 206 run so far this season: less than 5%.
119 – Jonathan Rea's (Honda HRC Test Team) last ever race win as a full-time rider was earned at Most in Race 1 back in 2023
112 – Currently standing at 112 WorldSBK race starts, Sunday’s Race 2 could see Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) move past Karl Muggeridge and his 114 race starts for an undisputed fourth place all-time behind Troy Bayliss with 156.
100 – Back in the 2022 season, after Ducati’s 1000th podium fanfare in Race 1, in the Tissot Superpole Race, it was Yamaha’s turn to record a milestone in the form of their 100th win.
47 – Axel Bassani's (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) last laps led in a WorldSBK race were here back in the 2023 Superpole Race.
34 – Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) is just two wins short of 7th in the all-time list, held by Tom Sykes with 34 and one win short of 8th, held by Troy Corser with 33 wins.
33-32 – At the age of Bulega at Most – 26 years 7 months on Saturday – only one rider has won more than Bulega’s 32 wins in WorldSBK history: Toprak Razgatlioglu with 33 wins.
22 – Most is the second Czech track in history after Brno, which hosted 22 races from 1993 to 2018.
20-10 – Ducati lead Yamaha for podiums here: 20-10. Kawasaki follows at 8 and BMW at 7. No other manufacturer has climbed on the podium here.
18 – After his Race 2 win back in 2023, Alvaro Bautista made history here by becoming the first rider to record 18 wins in a single season, a mark he would go on to improve to 27 by the end of the 2023 season.
15 – The last 15 races were always won from pole, a record streak in WorldSBK history.
10/14 – Toprak Razgatlioglu is the record holder here: 10 wins and 14 podiums. Bautista is next up in wins with 2, and Rea with 7 podium finishes.
11 – Iker Lecuona (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) is becoming a regular podium finisher, but with Bulega amassing wins, he now has 11 podiums without wins, behind Davide Giugliano with 14 podiums without a win.
9 – Lecuona is on a streak of 9 consecutive second places. There is only one longer streak in history: at the start of 2019, Jonathan Rea finished in second place ten times in a row behind Alvaro Bautista
6 – Danilo Petrucci (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) has the most podiums at Most among active riders.
5 – Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) has finished in sixth place at Most no less than five times.
1 – If Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) can finish on the podium this round, he would not only earn Bimota’s first podium at the track, but he would break his tie for third place with Giancarlo Falappa, as they stand tied currently, each with five.
