The first 11 took place at the Brno Circuit, from 1993 to 2018, while the subsequent 5 were held at the Autodrom Most. The two locations are about 300 km apart because Brno is 150 km from the Slovak border, while Most is about twenty kilometers from the German border.
Round data
According to Brembo engineers who work closely with 13 out of the 14 teams in the Superbike World Championship, the 4.212 km long Autodrom Most falls into the category of highly demanding circuits for brakes. On a scale from 1 to 5, it has earned a difficulty rating of 4, featuring 10 braking points per lap for a total of 22 and a half seconds: 2 braking points are classified as High, 5 as Medium, and 3 as Light. From start to finish in long races, each rider applies a total load of 860 kg on the brake lever, the highest figure among the first 6 rounds.
The toughest corner of the Autodrom Most for the braking system is the first one, due to the nearly 800-meter straight that precedes it: the Superbikes go from 291 km/h to 70 km/h, shedding an impressive 221 km/h thanks to a braking action lasting 4.7 seconds, the 5th highest value in the championship, with a lever force of 5.1 kg. During this time, the bikes cover 217 meters while the riders experience 1.5 g of deceleration, and the Brembo brake fluid pressure reaches 11 bar.
The Cannibal's Clamp
On his Ducati Panigale V4 R, Nicolò Bulega uses Brembo monobloc aluminum calipers with four pistons, each 34 mm in diameter. These calipers feature cooling fins on the outer body, an amplification system that generates additional force, and an anti-drag mechanism that reduces residual torque. Bulega prefers High Mass brake pads, which are 90 mm in length and weigh 155 grams—minute values that help reduce unsprung mass while ensuring powerful braking performance.
Bulega's three records
Like a cannibal, Nicolò Bulega devoured everything in his path, rewriting the Superbike World Championship record book: before him, no one had ever won the first 12 races of the season, nor had anyone claimed 16 consecutive victories. The Ducati rider also equaled the record for consecutive podium finishes, reaching 25, thanks to the 13 from the second half of the 2025 championship: the first to achieve 25 consecutive podiums was Colin Edwards in 2002, followed in 2025 by Toprak Razgatlioglu and now by Bulega.
The full house
Toprak Razgatlioglu is the big absentee of this round because at Most he achieved 10 wins and 4 second places in 15 races, missing the podium only in 2023 in Race 2, stopped by a technical problem. The other victory was claimed last year by Bulega, who already boasts 5 podiums on the Czech track. He is preceded only by the Turk, Danilo Petrucci (6), and Jonathan Rea (7). In total, there are 9 riders who have been on the podium at Most at least once, representing 4 manufacturers: all these bikes achieved this using Brembo braking systems.
