WorldSBK 2026

Circuit: Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit · Phillip Island

Phillip Island opens the championship against the Southern Ocean: a fast, flowing track where the slipstream rules and packs cross the line inches apart. Wind and brutal left-tyre wear make management an art, and a well-timed tow into the final corner can steal the win. In 2025 Nicolò Bulega delivered a perfect weekend, sweeping all three races and stating his intentions from round one. A brave rider's circuit, where lifting off costs tenths you never get back.

Circuit: Autódromo Internacional do Algarve · Portimão

Portimão is a rollercoaster carved into the Algarve hills: you climb, plunge and turn blind over crests that compress and release the bike relentlessly. Every corner arrives with the horizon shifting, so front-end confidence is everything. In 2025 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu dominated Race 1 and the Superpole Race, but Bulega hit back to take Race 2 — a script that captured their season-long duel. A circuit that rewards memory and punishes hesitation.

Circuit: TT Circuit Assen · Assen

Assen, motorcycling's 'Cathedral', strings together fast, bumpy curves that demand an almost hypnotic rhythm and a rear that survives the constant weave. Dutch weather can flip everything in a single lap. In 2025 it produced the most open weekend of the year: Bulega won Race 1, Toprak took the Superpole Race and Andrea Locatelli grabbed a surprise Race 2 victory. A temple where favourites stumble and outsiders find their day of glory.

Circuit: Balaton Park Circuit · Balatonfőkajár

Balaton Park joined the calendar in 2025 beside Hungary's great lake: a short, twisty, low-margin circuit that rewards millimetric precision over raw power. With little prior data, whoever reads the asphalt first takes charge. On its debut Toprak Razgatlıoğlu made the track his own, winning Race 1 and Race 2 with Bulega and Sam Lowes fighting for every inch. A fresh, compact stage where the smallest mistake is costly and passing demands invention.

Circuit: Autodrom Most · Most

Most snakes through the Czech countryside with an undulating rhythm and a long straight that feeds one of the best passing zones in the championship. It blends linked fast sections with a slow hairpin that demands perfect drive on exit. In 2025 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu took Race 1 and the Superpole Race, but Bulega struck back in Race 2, extending their trade of wins. An agile-bike circuit, where the rider who best connects the quick corners gains decisive metres.

Circuit: MotorLand Aragon · Alcañiz

MotorLand Aragón mixes a twisty up-and-down sector with an endless straight that ends in a brutal braking zone — the classic setting for last-gasp lunges. Its abrasive surface punishes the tyre and rewards whoever saves rubber for the finish. In 2025 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu won Race 1, but Bulega answered by taking the Superpole Race and Race 2. A complete circuit that measures top speed and the feel needed to keep the front from melting.

Circuit: Misano Circuit Sic 58 · Misano

Misano, on the Adriatic coast, is a technical layout of constant direction changes where rhythm is built with smoothness, not brutality. Summer heat lifts the track temperature and makes tyre management the key to the weekend. In 2025 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu delivered a crushing clean sweep, winning all three races in front of the rival Italian crowd. A circuit of flow and precision where losing the front through the esses costs the entire podium.

Circuit: Donington Park Circuit · Donington

Donington dips and climbs through the English countryside with the giddy Craner Curves as its jewel: a blind, very fast descent that separates the brave from the rest. Its flowing rhythm rewards carrying speed and a fully trusted front end. In 2025 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu delivered a perfect weekend at BMW's spiritual home, winning all three races. The ever-lurking British weather can rewrite the script at any moment and turn tyre choice into a lottery.

Circuit: Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours · Magny-Cours

Magny-Cours, with its abrasive surface and stop-and-go chicanes, tends to arrive in autumn under the constant threat of rain, making it a classic championship decider. The mix of fast corners and sharp braking demands a compromise setup and nerves of steel. In 2025 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu swept all three races. A track where bravery in the wet and composure under pressure count for more than raw speed.

Circuit: Cremona Circuit · Cremona

Cremona is a flat, fast circuit, with long straights linked by medium-speed corners and very little margin at their edges. Its high-grip surface rewards power and precision over acrobatics. It has become a genuine Nicolò Bulega stronghold: in 2025 the Italian delivered a perfect sweep, winning all three races at home. A modern layout where the pace is set through consistency and where the smallest slip drops you out of the fight.

Circuit: Circuito Estoril · Estoril

Estoril, overlooking the Portuguese Atlantic, blends a flowing sector with a long straight that feeds a banked final corner — a regular stage for last-lap moves. Sea wind and aged asphalt add variables that shake up the grid. In 2025 Toprak Razgatlıoğlu took Race 1 and the Superpole Race, but Bulega replied by winning Race 2, closing another weekend of pure duel between the two. A rhythm circuit where saving rubber for the finish makes the difference.

Circuit: Circuito de Jerez - Ángel Nieto · Jerez

Jerez, with its packed grandstands and slow, tight-radius corners, is a stadium circuit that squeezes the tyre and rewards traction out of every hairpin. Its final corner always invites a desperate last-lap lunge. In 2025 Nicolò Bulega dominated the weekend, winning Race 1 and Race 2. A technical, physical layout where managing rubber to the finish decides who climbs to the top step.
