The Lenovo Race Of Championsthe traditional Ducati one-make race, has brought together riders from all over the world on the Italian track. MotoGP, WorldSBK, WorldSSP and other national championships, all competing with identical Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore to celebrate the centenary of the Borgo Panigale brand in the WDW 2026.
Bulega dominates and wins the Lenovo Race Of Champions 2026
Bulega has confirmed his great form by dominating the Lenovo Race Of Champions, a ten-lap test in which he set the pace from the first stages. The Italian driver has managed his advantage at the head of the group to cross the finish line in first position, and add a prestigious victory in front of thousands of fans present in the Misano stands.
Behind him, Alberto Surra finished in second position after an intense fight for the podium places, while Lorenzo Baldassarri completed the top 3. The Lenovo Race Of Champions has once again offered a unique spectacle within the World Ducati Week, allowing fans to enjoy a direct confrontation between some of the most prominent names in the Ducati universe.
With all the drivers on the same mount, the Lenovo Race Of Champions has established itself as one of the most spectacular and followed events of the event, highlighting the talent of the competitors in a setting as emblematic as the Misano circuit. After the event, Nicolò Bulega declared:
“It has been a fantastic weekend that we have culminated with this victory riding my Panigale V4 again, which is spectacular. Thank you all, it has been very nice to see so many people in the stands these days and especially today, it seemed like a real race. Congratulations to Ducati for the centenary and especially for this World Ducati Week. It is not easy to organize an event of this size, with so many people, so many activities and it has been spectacular.”
With this victory, Bulega adds new success to a season in which he continues to prove himself to be one of the reference riders in Italian motorcycling and the Ducati environment. Let us remember that in the last race weekend of WSBK 2026, Nicolò showed why he is the rider to beat this season after leaving Misano with a triplet under his arm.
Overwhelming, there is no other way to define the Italian right now and we only need one piece of information to dispel any doubt regarding his demonstration of driving and competitiveness: since Razgatlioglu won the Estoril Superpole Race on October 12, 2025, no other driver other than Bulega has climbed to the top of the podium, and that has been 25 races.
