Bezzecchi Wins Mugello, Bulega Extends WorldSBK Winning Run

Those race outcomes tilt the MotoGP title fight toward Aprilia and push Nicolo Bulega and Aruba.it Ducati into an overwhelming position in WorldSBK.

Overview

  • Marco Bezzecchi won the Italian MotoGP at Mugello on Sunday to lead the championship by 17 points after an Aprilia 1-2 with team-mate Jorge Martin.
  • Bezzecchi passed Francesco Bagnaia mid-race and pulled clear late, while Marc Marquez returned from surgery to finish seventh in his comeback grand prix.
  • Nicolo Bulega continued his remarkable run at Aragon by winning Race 1 and the Tissot Superpole Race, extending a reported 20-race streak and moving roughly 100 points clear of teammate Iker Lecuona.
  • Sources differ slightly on the exact WorldSBK gap with some reporting a 100-point lead and the WSBK release stating a 103-point margin, and a Superpole-Race collision between Andrea Locatelli and Tarran Mackenzie is under steward investigation after Locatelli received a medical check.
  • Both series now head into their next rounds with clear momentum advantages to track — MotoGP goes to Balaton Park next weekend and WorldSBK will run Race 2 at Aragon — making those meetings the first chance to test whether these leads hold.
