The Italian rider made history by winning the Superpole ahead of Toprak Razgatlioglu in a thrilling finish, separated by just 0.003s, the closest in WorldSBK history. Bulega tried to challenge Razgatlioglu in the final laps but couldn’t due to the latter’s late-braking skills. Bulega utilized Ducati’s strength in the final sector to clinch the win on the line. Despite Razgatlioglu winning Race 2 on Sunday, Bulega still has a shot at the championship, with them being 46 points apart and 62 points remaining. Bulega, in his debut season, could make history as the first Italian to win the WorldSBK championship since 2012.
