Results from Sunday morning's Warm Up session at the 2026 Hungarian WorldSBK from Balaton Park.

Nicolo Bulega topped Warm Up at Balaton Park, setting his best time on his final lap of the session to end over 0.3 seconds ahead of his team-mate, Iker Lecuona.

Sam Lowes made it an all-Ducati top-three and Yari Montella was a fourth Ducati at the top of the times. Alex Lowes was the first non-Ducati in sixth, just ahead of his Bimota team-mate Axel Bassani, but the two KB998 riders were over a second slower than Bulega at the top.

Alberto Surra, Lorenzo Baldassarri, Andrea Locatelli, and Garrett Gerloff completed the top-10.
