2026 Cremona WorldSBK: Championship standings after Race 1
2026 WorldSBK championship standings after Race 1 at the Italian Round at Cremona Circuit, round 10 of the 2026 season.
Riders' championship standings after Race 1 at the Italian WorldSBK at Cremona Circuit, the 10th round of the 2026 season.
Nicolo Bulega continues to lead the riders' standings after Race 1 at round 10, despite losing to Iker Lecuona. Bulega missed his second opportunity to win the title, although it still wasn't fully in his hands as he'd have had to out-score Lecuona by 15 points.
Lecuona's second win of the season does little for his championship position, although he's now almost 200 points ahead of Yari Montella in third. Montella crashed twice in the race and didn't score, so his advantage in the battle for third has been trimmed to 33 points thanks to a third-place finish for Sam Lowes, which also brought him back ahead of Alex Lowes who finished sixth in Race 1.
