Superbike Most 2026, TV times and full weekend schedule: Bulega leads Ducati’s world title challenge

The Superbike World Championship arrives in the Czech Republic for one of the most spectacular rounds of the season

Superbike returns to action and does so at one of the most technical and unpredictable circuits on the calendar. From 15 to 17 May the 2026 World Championship arrives at Autodrom Most for the Czech Republic Round, an event that could already shape the battle for the world title in a major way.

Nicolò Bulega arrives in the Czech Republic as the clear championship leader after a first part of the season dominated with the factory Ducati. The Italian rider has impressed with consistency, speed and race management, quickly becoming the benchmark in the category.

Most, however, is a track capable of changing the balance. The violent braking zones, the constant changes of direction and the very high level of stress on tyres and chassis make the Czech circuit one of the most demanding in the entire world championship. A detail that could help the rivals reduce the gap to Ducati.

Álvaro Bautista is looking for important answers after a difficult start to the season, while BMW and Yamaha are aiming to exploit the track’s characteristics to reopen the fight in the leading positions. The feeling is that the Most weekend could become one of the key moments of the 2026 Superbike World Championship.

Bulega wants another title breakaway, but Most could reopen the championship

The Czech Republic Round arrives at a crucial point in the season. Nicolò Bulega has already shown that he has the pace and maturity to become the new dominant force in Superbike, but Most represents one of the most difficult circuits of the year and could offer fresh opportunities to the chasers.

Bautista is looking for the breakthrough weekend, BMW wants to close in on Ducati and the outsiders are aiming to join the fight for the podium. On a track where the margin for error is tiny and races are often decided in the closing laps, every detail could change the fate of the 2026 Superbike World Championship.
