Nicolo Bulega continued his dominance in the 2026 WorldSBK season as he secured victory in Race 2 at Most.
Bulega returned to the top step of the podium for the third time at the Autodrom Most with a dominant showing in Race 2.
The Italian rider was joined on the podium by his fellow Ducati riders, Iker Lecuona and Yari Montella.
At the race start, it was the polesitter of Bulega who took the holeshot and was leading from Lecuona and Montella on the opening lap.
The start of Lap 2 saw Ducati dominate the top six with Bulega still leading Lecuona and Montella, with Lorenzo Baldassarri, Alberto Surra and Tarran Mackenzie holding fourth, fifth and sixth.
By Lap 3, the gap between second and third had grown, as Bulega and Lecuona had pulled away at the front of the field.
Surra made a move for fourth place on Lap 5 as the Italian overtook his fellow Ducati rider, Baldassarri.
On Lap 7, the battle between Surra and Baldassarri raged on as the Motocorsa and GoEleven Ducati riders continued to switch positions.
Lap 13 saw Garrett Gerloff progress through the order from seventh place to sixth, as he began to challenge Surra for a place in the top five.
On Lap 14, Mackenzie crashed out of seventh place and had to retire from the final race of the weekend.
Throughout the second half of the race, the battle at the front did not amount to anything, but the battle between Gerloff and Surra continued for fifth.
At the chequered flag, it was Bulega who secured victory once again as he secured a hat-trick of victories at the Czech WorldSBK Round.

Montella took the final place on the podium, as the Italian rider was able to hold on to third place throughout the race.
Baldassarri was relatively undisturbed in fourth place after taking the position in the first half of the race.
The top five was completed by Gerloff, who finished in fifth place, with Surra outside of the top five in sixth place.
The two Bimota riders, Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani, ended the day in seventh and eighth places.
Andrea Locatelli was the top Yamaha rider as he ended Race Two in ninth place for the factory Yamaha squad.
Completing the top ten was the British rider, Tommy Bridewell, who held off Xavi Vierge, who was in 11th place.
