Results from the WorldSBK Superpole session at the 2026 Italian WorldSBK at Cremona Circuit.

Iker Lecuona secured pole position in the Italian WorldSBK, breaking Nicolo Bulega's streak of 10 straight pole positions. It was Lecuona's second WorldSBK pole after Barcelona 2022 and his first with Ducati.

Bulega himself had a small scare in the session as both his laps from run one were cancelled for yellow flags as Jake Dixon, then Mattia Rato crashed. But he recovered well on the second run and had provisional pole before Lecuona's final lap, ultimately finishing second.

Alberto Surra had provisional pole for a minute or two after an off-track excursion for Lecuona, but was third in the end.

Sam Lowes took fourth despite a late crash, which came almost simultaneously with crashes for Andrea Locatelli and Axel Bassani, who ended up 15th and 13th, respectively.

Yari Montella completed the top-five, while Lorenzo Baldassarri secured an all-Ducati top-six.

Alex Lowes was the leading non-Ducati in seventh, ahead of Garrett Gerloff and Miguel Oliveira who complete the third row.

Tommy Bridewell rounded out the top-10 and will be joined by Remy Gardner and Xavi Vierge on the fourth row.
