Nicolò Bulega won both Sunday races at Jerez and, with Saturday’s victory, ended the 2026 WorldSBK season with a clean sweep. The official review records 32 wins this year and a podium finish in every race.

What does 32 mean?

Against the 36 races in the full-season results table, 32/36 gives an 88.9% win rate. This is BSR’s calculation, not a share of championship points. Bulega scored 726 points to Lecuona’s 563. In the final full-length race, Sam Lowes finished third, 13.349 seconds behind. The title is therefore not the story of one spectacular weekend: the Jerez triple completed a season-long sequence of exceptionally consistent results.
