At WorldSBK Round 8 at Donington Park in England, Ducati's Nicolo Bulega swept Sunday's two races, securing the manufacturer its earliest Manufacturers' Championship since 2003. Bulega's 43rd career win pulled him level with Noriyuki Haga for sixth on the all-time list.

Bulega's 43rd career win, pulling level with Noriyuki Haga, is no small feat. Getting his 25-race streak snapped by Lecuona on Saturday only to answer with wins in both the Superpole Race and Race 2 on Sunday - that's the kind of response that gets an ex-pro like me fired up. Ducati's earliest Manufacturers' and Teams' crowns since 2003, and having watched this sport up close, that dominance checks out.

Who's Noriyuki Haga, was he a famous rider?

491 points ahead means the rest of the season's basically a formality.

43 career wins tying Haga is quietly a huge number.

Takes me back to the Haga era, races were actually close back then.

Too much of a runaway, kinda boring honestly. What are the other manufacturers doing.
