Results from Race 2 at the Dutch WorldSBK at Assen, round three of the 2026 season.

Nicolo Bulega took another victory in Assen, his third of the weekend and ninth from nine races in 2026. His 13th win in a row, going back to Estoril 2025, ties him with Toprak Razgatlioglu for the most in WorldSBK history.

Iker Lecuona again took second place, this time 2.7 seconds behind his teammate, and Sam Lowes again completed the podium. As in Portimao, it was three identical top-fours in Assen, with Alvaro Bautista fourth once more, but not the top-five, as Yari Montella made it two Barni Ducatis in the first five positions.

Lorenzo Baldassarri made it an all-Ducati top-six, then Xavi Vierge, Andrea Locatelli, Danilo Petrucci, and Tarran Mackenzie completed the top-10.

Alex Lowes started fourth, but seemed to run out of rear grip in the second half of the race and finished 11th in the end.

Superpole Race

Nicolo Bulega took victory in the Superpole Race at Assen, the Italian leading from lights-to-flag ahead of his teammate Iker Lecuona.

Sam Lowes was third, then Alvaro Bautista made it another Ducati top-four lockout, while Alex Lowes confirmed the Superpole Race had an identical top-five to that of Race 1, as was the case in Portugal three weeks ago.

Xavi Vierge was sixth, passing Danilo Petrucci at the final chicane on the last lap. Petrucci narrowly beat Yari Montella to seventh, while Andrea Locatelli took the final point in ninth despite a last-lap drop one position penalty. Remy Gardner completed the top-10.
