More records and milestones were set at the Autodrom Most, and the best numbers from the weekend are below as Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing &#8211; Ducati) matched Champions with his latest success.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t369 \u2013 Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) has started 369 WorldSBK races, surpassing Tom Sykes to move into third in the all-time list. His next target is Troy Corser, with 377. If he starts every race, he will match Corser in the Tissot Superpole Race at Donington Park and pass him in Race 2.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t71 \u2013 Bulega is now on 71 WorldSBK podiums, putting him level with 2010 and 2012 Champion Max Biaggi.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t33-34 \u2013 By winning Race 1, Bulega equalled Corser with his 33rd win. In the Superpole Race, the #11 moved onto 34 wins, level with Tom Sykes. He\u2019s now on 35.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t26-28 \u2013 His 26th consecutive podium in Race 1 meant Bulega beat the record set by Colin Edwards and Toprak Razgatlioglu. \u2018Bulegas\u2019 is now on 28 in a row.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t15-14 \u2013 Bulega has won 15 races this year, more than he managed in 2024 or 2025 as he finished as runner up.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t15 \u2013 Bulega\u2019s 15th win in a row since the start of 2026 means he\u2019s tied with Carlos Checa for wins in a single campaign, with Checa setting his total in 2011 (but in a two-race per weekend format). His next targets are Alvaro Bautista (Barni Spark Racing Team) with 16 (2019, 2022), and Jonathan Rea (also 16, set in 2019).<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t14 \u2013 Iker Lecuona (Aruba.it Racing &#8211; Ducati) has recorded 14 WorldSBK podiums without a win, tying the record set by Davide Giugliano.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t12 \u2013 Lecuona\u2019s 12 consecutive P2 finishes are a new all-time record.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t8 \u2013 Tommy Bridewell (Superbike Advocates) recorded his best WorldSBK result with P8 in the Tissot Superpole Race.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t5 \u2013 Alberto Surra (Motocorsa Racing) took his best WorldSBK result in the Superpole Race with P5.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t4 \u2013 Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) took P4 in Race 1, his best result for Kawasaki. It\u2019s the first time he\u2019s been in the top four since he was on the podium at Aragon in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t3-3-4 \u2013 For the first time in his WorldSBK career, Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) claimed three podiums in a round; all third-place finishes. He\u2019s now on four podiums in a row.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tFollow all the WorldSBK action throughout 2026 using the <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.worldsbk.com\/en\/subscribe?_ga=2.86796376.1908386869.1778657295-1987345431.1752137082\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WorldSBK VideoPass \u2013 now 30% off!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; The Czech Round for the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship was an incredible affair with fierce fights&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-680836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
