Superbike World Championship in Cremona: So far, only Ducati and Italian winners

From 25 to 27 September, the 2026 Superbike World Championship will be held at the Cremona Circuit. The production-based world championship is gradually entering the home straight: this is the tenth of twelve rounds this year, and the decisive moments are drawing nearer.

The circuit, situated in the triangle formed by the cities of Mantua, Parma and Cremona, opened in 2011 and has only been on the calendar since 2024. A five-year contract gave the operators the planning certainty they needed for renovations, modifications and the construction of grandstands – prior to that, the venue was mainly used for track days. The inaugural event was held in September due to necessary construction work still being required. Last year, the Cremona round was brought forward to May, but will now take place in late summer once again.

The Superbike circuit, at 3,768 metres the shortest in the series, features six right-hand and seven left-hand bends in rapid succession. There are varying radii and bankinged corners. The longest straight measures a generous 885 metres, whilst the start-finish straight is a further 400 metres long. Cremona is a highly technical circuit and is raced anti-clockwise.

In the six races held so far on the northern Italian circuit, there have been only two winners to date. Both are Italian. In 2024, Danilo Petrucci surprised everyone by securing a hat-trick as a privateer on a Ducati; in 2025, Nicolò Bulega dominated on a factory V4R. From

Last-minute Superbike fans can still decide at short notice to make a trip to the Cremona event. Tickets are still available in every category and price range. Prices range from a Friday day ticket for 40 euros to a weekend ticket for 159 euros.
