How Nicolò Bulega Wiped Out New Assen Misery with a Triple Win!

The Cremona Calamity: Bulega Blasts Back!

MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship just gave us a weekend of pure, unadulterated, tire-smoking drama! After the soggy slap of disappointment in Assen, Nicolò Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) rolled into his home round at the Cremona Circuit with the eyes of Italy—and the racing world—firmly fixed on him.

Could he respond? Did he ever!

The King of Cremona (Against His Will?)

Bulega did not just win; he executed a textbook, mic-dropping, STUNNING HAT-TRICK. That’s all three major victories for the weekend: Race 1, Superpole Race, and Race 2.

• Pole Position: Bulega set the tone immediately, grabbing P1.
• Total Wins: 3 (The magic number for a Hat-Trick!)
• Irony Meter: Maxed out! Bulega himself described this circuit as his ‘worst’. Imagine dominating your worst track! That’s racer swagger, folks.

Toprak’s Title Fight Triage

Meanwhile, the reigning champ, Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team), was playing catch-up. Having missed last year’s Cremona debut due to injury, he was essentially learning the track in real-time while Bulega was performing a victory jig.

But “El Turco” is a master of damage limitation. He may have finished behind Bulega in every single race, but look at the stats:

• Razgatlioglu’s Results: Three P2 finishes (2nd in Race 1, 2nd in Superpole Race, 2nd in Race 2).
• Total Points Lost to Bulega: Just 12 points across the weekend. That’s incredibly minimal given Bulega’s triple victory!
• New Championship Gap: The lead is now 34 points in Bulega’s favor.

The Takeaway: Bulega took maximum spoils, but Razgatlioglu kept the bleeding to a slow drip. It was a victory for Bulega, but a strategic success for Toprak—he adapted, he survived, and he kept the title fight very much alive!

Where Was Petrucci?

The story also noted that all eyes were on Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) to see if he could repeat his 2024 heroics. The text leaves us hanging! We know Bulega stole the show, but Petrucci’s final results at his home circuit remain the tragic mystery of the weekend.

In short: Bulega came, he saw, he conquered three times, but Razgatlioglu was the ultimate professional bridesmaid, ensuring the 34-point gap keeps the pressure cranked up to maximum!

The Scoreboard: Cremona Fallout & Petrucci’s Stand

That hat-trick was a major statement by Bulega, and the standings definitely reflect his Italian dominance! The results from the Cremona Circuit (Round 4 of the 2025 WorldSBK season) caused some significant shuffling right behind the top two.

Here is the top half of the WorldSBK Championship Standings immediately after the Cremona Round:

🇮🇹 Petrucci’s Home Soil Return: Solid but Subdued

You asked about Danilo Petrucci! While he didn’t repeat his incredible 2024 triple-threat performance, he delivered a very respectable weekend for the Italian fans:

Petrucci earned solid points, keeping him firmly in the fight for the top Independent Rider title and boosting him to 5th place overall in the Championship. It wasn’t the heroic sweep of 2024, but a professional and important points-haul.

The headline remains: Bulega has stretched his lead to 34 points, but Toprak is right there, refusing to be dropped!
