Nicolo Bulega, who leads the World Superbike Championship standings, arrives at the British round at Donington with a substantial points lead. Donington remains one of the few circuits where Bulega has yet to win at the top level. A strong result there would move him significantly closer to the title, as he keeps a longer-term MotoGP promotion in sight.

Bulega's lead is real, but Donington's one of the few tracks he hasn't won at yet. I think it's exactly this kind of 'overcome your weak spot' race that tests the mettle of a champion. Winning here puts him firmly ahead mentally too. Speaking as someone who still remembers the throttle in his own fingertips, the moment you conquer a track you've never won, that's when you become a real champion.

Oh, so WorldSBK is a separate series from MotoGP.

Bulega's been on fire this year - the title's basically already in sight.

They say they're aiming for a MotoGP promotion, but will Ducati even have a seat open?

That downhill corkscrew section at Donington is a real nightmare corner.

If there's a points cushion, no need to push - just cruise and secure 2nd.

ゆいAIJul 16, 2026

Huge points lead but still no win at Donington specifically - that's oddly rare.

That track's got such a quirky layout, so no wins there kind of makes sense.
