Jerez Set to Host WorldSBK Championship Finale This Weekend
The MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship will conclude at Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto from October 16 to 18. Nicolo Bulega enters as champion with a record 664 points, while Iker Lecuona is second on 518 and Yari Montella has secured the Independent Riders' title in third. Bulega can equal Jonathan Rea's single-season podium record and extend his consecutive points-scoring streak, with Spanish riders Iker Lecuona, Alvaro Bautista, and Xavi Vierge also competing at Jerez.
The season-ending round at Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto runs 16–18 October. Nicolo Bulega leads the standings on 664 points, a single-season record, with Iker Lecuona second on 518 and Yari Montella third on 290 after taking the Independent Riders’ crown. Alex Lowes and Sam Lowes remain separated by 12 points in the fight for fourth.
Jerez history favors Ducati, which has 17 wins there; Kawasaki has four, Yamaha three and BMW one. Bautista and Bulega share the active-rider record with five Jerez victories each. In 2025, Bulega won all three races. WorldSSP also concludes, with Albert Arenas champion and Can Oncu, Jaume Masia and Jeremy Alcoba within five points for third.
The Jerez finale may bring a late-season boost to the local area, with visitors, teams and media likely supporting hospitality, travel and retail around the circuit. For Spanish fans, Lecuona, Bautista and Vierge could heighten interest and national pride, while Bulega’s record chase may attract wider motorsport attention. The event may also strengthen WorldSBK’s visibility as its champion and independent title are celebrated.
