2026 Czech WorldSBK Race 2 LIVE: Bulega wins 19th race in a row
Live updates from Race 2 at the 2026 Czech WorldSBK at Autodrom Most.
Key Moments
- Nicolo Bulega starts from pole
- Danilo Petrucci and Alvaro Bautista ruled out after separate crashes
- Bulega looks to continue unbeaten run of 18 race wins
- Race 2 begins at 2:30pm BST
Nicolo Bulega will start the Race 2 from pole position after setting a new lap record in qualifying on Saturday.
The championship leader also heads into today's final race with an unbeaten streak of 18 wins, although he had to fight hard to keep that run alive in Race 1.
Iker Lecuona was once again Bulega's biggest threat in Race 1, which is expected to be the case in both of Sunday's races.
Lecuona will start Race 2 from second place ahead of Barni's Yari Montella, who is on solo duty for the team this weekend following Alvaro Bautista's big crash on Saturday morning.
The two-time series champion was declared unfit after a crash at turn 20 during FP3. Bautista is not the only high-profile name missing from today's action, as ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK rider Danilo Petrucci has also been ruled out.
Petrucci crashed on lap one of Saturday's race, after he suffered a violent highside at turn 13. The former MotoGP race winner suffered a broken coccyx and several contusions, including his lower back, left hip, and left pelvis.
Sam Lowes will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing weekend so far, after the Marc VDS rider was taken out by Alberto Surra in Race 1, before crashing on the opening lap of the Superpole Race.
