WorldSBK standings after Race 1 at the 2026 Estoril Round, round 10 of the season.
Nicolo Bulega of course remains at the top of the standings, having mathematically clinched the title in Cremona two weeks ago. By winning ahead of Iker Lecuona, his gap of his team-mate is back out to 138 points.
Yari Montella had a tough race on Saturday at Estoril, finishing down in eighth. It means he's now 212 points behind Lecuona, but with Alex Lowes only fifth Montella's gap to fourth is still strong at 40 points. He'd need to gain 23 points in tomorrow's two races to secure third place before Jerez.
Sam Lowes had a worse race than Montella, finishing only 11th. He now trails Alex Lowes by 13 points for fourth, and is only 21 points ahead of Lorenzo Baldassarri in sixth.
