The young Ducati driver, Nicolo Bulega, finished the work during the last Superbike race in Cremona: three in three victories. Toprak Razgatlioglu, however, limits the damage and maintains the BMW on the right track. Alvaro Bautista still third.

We want to complicate the regulation of the superbike to create a balance, then the phenomenon Nicolo Opens appears and uncertainty fades. At this stage of the world championship, the hope of Ducati runs on another planet, he placed the bar so high that the differences between normal pilots are widening, the group is getting longer and the races become predictable processions. Compared to the last September edition, the time on the distance has dropped by 20 seconds: an enormity. Sending it as quickly as possible is the only way to give flavor to a world championship Who was already in his first act at Phillip Island. We are in the fourth round and, apart from the two technical problems of Assen due to a defective crankshaft sensor, Bulega dominated three. The rest (a hat -trick in Portimao) returned to Soil razgatliogluthe only one to hang on. But the BMW, deprived of its prototype chassis, does not seem to be the right weapon to take shocks: its own pilot affirms it.
Race-2 identical to the previous two
Nicolò’s supremacy in Crémona is so overwhelming that the suspense evaporates even when his direct opponent is in contact. The fray lasted four laps, exactly as the day before: when Bulega wanted it, he put the gas and fled. Besides, the Panigale is fast in a straight line, but the hat -trick was done by an overcoming braking: the old GP driver is not afraid of Toprak, even in the challenge of the one who brakes the latest. The loser had the merit of getting out of it as best as possible: although he had to bow, a painful subject for someone who, last year, almost always won, he left only 13 points on the field at the end of the games, falling at -34 of the head. With the two abandonments of Assen, not to say more, Bulega had left 37: the combination of the resilience of Turkish and the technical errors of the reds produces the result of a classification of the world championship still open at present.
Petrucci to La place of Iannon
Starting from the second line, instead of the fifth as the day before, Danilo Petrucci was able to build a very different race 2. But the “independent” Ducati is no longer able to offer moments of glory, the fourth place at 17 seconds from the first is as much as possible. Danilo, in fact, took the place ofAndrea Iannonewhich had signed the same result in race 1. It seemed to be the starting point of a good weekend, but for the old MotoGP pilot, the epilogue was black, at the end of the point zone.
Roberto Locatelliwho had celebrated his first success barely two years ago, also suddenly entered the rank, thanks to the abandonment of Bulega: Yamaha’s return is almost inexplicable.
Next Superbike step: Most
After Lombardy, the Superbike world championship will resume its rights within a fortnight in Most, in the Czech Republic. The fifth of the twelve rounds will also take place on a small site, with very spartan facilities. The track is however faster than in Cremona: there too, the Ducati has often led the dance, even if Soil razgatlioglu And the BMW also won there. Direct comparison continues.
