Bulega Equals WorldSBK Record With 13th Straight Win in Assen Sweep

The streak gives Ducati a commanding points buffer heading to Balaton Park.

Overview

  • Bulega's Sunday Race 2 win at Assen sealed a three-race sweep and tied Toprak Razgatlioglu's record of 13 straight victories.
  • The championship leader now has 186 points, 69 clear of teammate Iker Lecuona, who finished second in all three races for six podiums in a row.
  • Sam Lowes took third in every race and moved up to third in the standings as Ducati riders filled the rostrum each time.
  • Changeable weather shaped Race 1, with a mid-race shower letting Lecuona pass before Bulega regained the lead as the track dried.
  • Several rivals struggled for pace at Assen, including BMW's Miguel Oliveira with P11 and P12 on Sunday and Bimota's Axel Bassani with a best of P12, as the series heads to Hungary's Balaton Park on May 1.
