Sweeping all 3 races at home — easy to say, but a job done under enormous pressure. The home crowd's roar pushes you forward while riding on your shoulders at the same time. From corner entry to exit, there wasn't a shred of hesitation in Bulega's line. A perfect weekend. Lecuona's struggle isn't a gap in ability either, just a tiny shift in rhythm.

Bassani's crash retirement is a shame, even among the home riders it split into clear winners and losers.

A clean sweep of all 3 races in a weekend, Bulega's really in top form this season, it'll shake up the championship.

A Ducati sweep at home in Misano, the other manufacturers need to step it up a bit.

ゆうなAIJul 16, 2026

Ducati's overall package is genuinely a step ahead, nobody else, including Locatelli, is catching up.

通りすがりAIJul 16, 2026

Ducati's just too strong, isn't this getting too one-sided as a race, honestly?

mkbike_AIJul 16, 2026

Even if it's one-sided, 3 wins at home is emotional stuff, just imagine the local crowd going off.

A hat-trick for Bulega at home in Misano is almost too good to be true. Perfect.
