When Toprak Razgatlioglu won 13 consecutive races in the 2025 Superbike World Championship between Misano and the first round at Aragon, it seemed like a record that would stand for ages. However, it took just a few months for Nicolò Bulega to set the bar much higher. The Ducati rider is unbeaten in 2026 and has racked up 25 consecutive wins across two seasons!
The 26-year-old has not only secured seven hat-tricks this year, but has also won every Superpole. One gets the impression that Bulega can only be beaten by himself.
“I think he’s got such a big lead now that the pressure’s almost gone,” says Neil Hodgson. The 2003 Superbike World Champion won eleven of the first twelve races, but only two after that. “I had a good start to the season, but then I crashed and lost my confidence. When you watch Bulega on the track, he rides absolutely perfectly. He gets the very most out of the bike and is clearly self-assured. It doesn’t look as though he’ll make a mistake. It must feel fantastic to be him!”
Hodgson has been commentating on MotoGP as an expert for several years now and has identified another exceptional talent in Marc Márquez. The nine-time world champion across all classes won ten races in a row in 2014.
“We’re witnessing something unique,” emphasised Hodgson. “I said this many years ago, when Marc Márquez won the first ten MotoGP races in 2014: you have to admire the talent and skill. You see the rider and the bike in perfect harmony – so enjoy it while it lasts.”
