Lap times from the Superpole session at the Hungarian WorldSBK at Balaton Park, the fourth stop of the 2026 season.
Nicolo Bulega took pole position in Superpole at Balaton Park, his fourth of the season and fifth in a row.
Bulega was ahead of Lorenzo Baldassarri and Yari Montella on the front row, while his teammate Iker Lecuona could only manage fifth.
Miguel Oliveira was the best non-Ducati in fourth, and Andrea Locatelli had a good qualifying in sixth for Yamaha.
Sam Lowes took seventh and was visibly furious with riders apparently impeding him in the final corner on his last lap. He'll start from the front of the third row alongside Alberto Surra and Alvaro Bautista.
