Full results from the Superpole Race at the 2026 Hungarian WorldSBK at Balaton Park.
Nicolo Bulega emerged victorious in the Superpole Race at Balaton Park during the 2026 Hungarian WorldSBK, securing the win over Iker Lecuona by a margin of 0.894 seconds in a truncated eight-lap contest.
The race got off to a chaotic start, with Bulega encountering early difficulties due to a tussle with Yari Montella at turn one and a subsequent wide maneuver at turn five on the initial lap. This incident also involved Miguel Oliveira and Andrea Locatelli, culminating in a red flag situation due to Oliveira’s trackside treatment for concussion and a left shoulder injury.
After the restart, Lecuona capitalized on the opportunity, making his way to second behind leader Lorenzo Baldassarri, with Bulega climbing up the ranks to eventually secure the top spot. Despite Lecuona’s efforts to close the gap, Bulega maintained his advantage till the finish, also earning Lecuona a front row start for Race 2.
Baldassarri executed a decisive move on Montella to claim third place, with Alvaro Bautista finishing in fourth, followed by Montella and Alberto Surra in an all-Ducati top-six lineup. The remainder of the top-nine positions were filled by Alex Lowes, Garrett Gerloff, and Tarran Mackenzie, with Xavi Vierge rounding off the top-10.
