The MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship heads to MotorLand Aragon from 29-31 May for Round 6, with Bulega carrying an unbeaten run into the heart of Lecuona’s home territory.
Recent Form and Momentum
- Bulega leads the Championship on 310 points, holding a 95-point advantage at the top of the standings as he continues one of the strongest starts to a WorldSBK campaign in recent history.
- Attention this weekend will also centre on teammate Iker Lecuona. Racing on home soil, the Spaniard arrives at Aragon after 12 consecutive second-place finishes and and with three races on home soil ahead of him, this could be the weekend where Lecuona finally converts consistency into victory.
- At Most, Lecuona briefly inherited the lead of the Tissot Superpole Race after a rare Turn 1 mistake from Bulega, marking one of the few moments this season where the Italian has come under sustained pressure in a race situation.

- Ducati riders occupy five of the top six positions in the Championship standings. Following a triple podium finish at Most, Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) holds third place on 121 points.
- Lorenzo Baldassarri (Team GoEleven) follows 14 points behind Montella, while Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) completes the top five with 103 points.
- Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) is the highest-placed non-Ducati rider in the standings on 101 points, just 20 shy of third place.

Team & Rider News
- Having missed the opening five rounds of the season, Honda HRC rookie Jake Dixon recently returned to the track during a private test at Misano. The Japanese manufacturer has confirmed that the British rider is set to make his racing comeback at MotorLand Aragon, subject to the mandatory medical check.
- Following injuries sustained at Most, the participation of Alvaro Bautista (Barni Spark Racing Team) and Danilo Petrucci (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) remains uncertain ahead of the Aragon Round.
- Miguel Oliveira (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) continues his recovery after the injury sustained at Balaton Park.
