More records and milestones were set at the Autodrom Most, and the best numbers from the weekend are below as Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) matched Champions with his latest success.
369 – Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) has started 369 WorldSBK races, surpassing Tom Sykes to move into third in the all-time list. His next target is Troy Corser, with 377. If he starts every race, he will match Corser in the Tissot Superpole Race at Donington Park and pass him in Race 2.
71 – Bulega is now on 71 WorldSBK podiums, putting him level with 2010 and 2012 Champion Max Biaggi.
33-34 – By winning Race 1, Bulega equalled Corser with his 33rd win. In the Superpole Race, the #11 moved onto 34 wins, level with Tom Sykes. He’s now on 35.
26-28 – His 26th consecutive podium in Race 1 meant Bulega beat the record set by Colin Edwards and Toprak Razgatlioglu. ‘Bulegas’ is now on 28 in a row.
15-14 – Bulega has won 15 races this year, more than he managed in 2024 or 2025 as he finished as runner up.

His next targets are Alvaro Bautista (Barni Spark Racing Team) with 16 (2019, 2022), and Jonathan Rea (also 16, set in 2019).
