Description Nicolo Bulega won Race 2 at the 2026 Pirelli Emilia-Romagna Round of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, held at the Misano World Circuit "Marco Simoncelli". Riding for Aruba.it Racing - Ducati, Bulega finished 5.101 seconds ahead of teammate Iker Lecuona, completing a dominant home weekend hat-trick and securing a record-breaking seventh weekend triple of the season.
Key Moments: Axel Bassani looked set to snap the all-Ducati podium monopoly, but crashed out at turn eight in the closing laps while running third. This promoted Yari Montella back to P3 to secure a clean sweep of identical podium lockouts for Ducati across all three Misano races.
