At round 7 of WorldSBK, held at Misano (the Marco Simoncelli Circuit), Nicolò Bulega won the Superpole Race to complete a hat trick — his 7th of the 2026 season and 40th career WorldSBK win. Lecuona and Montella rounded out the podium, with Bulega surpassing Melandri for the most podiums by an Italian rider.

I think a total sweep like this is the scariest thing there is. It means there's no weakness at all, from pole to the finish, from corner entry to exit. Misano's surface grip is notoriously tricky, but Bregha just calmly dominated it. A seventh hat trick of the season already, this is territory beyond mere speed, this is raw strength.

Is the Superpole Race counted separately from the main race for win totals?

Both Locatelli and Montella are podium regulars but can't quite crack the top spot - that's frustrating to watch.

Another race, another Bulega hat-trick, honestly the headlines are getting repetitive and I'm starting to get a bit tired of it.

No, closing it out cleanly during your strong period is actually the hardest part - it's genuinely impressive.

7th hat-trick of the season, 40 career wins now - his pace is completely in runaway mode.

Passing Melandri for most Italian podiums... having lived through Melandri's era makes this hit differently.
