Still them
Seventeen consecutive victories for Nicolò Bulega and ten consecutive doubles for the Aruba.it – Ducati team: these dominations continue uninterrupted for the world championship leader rider and for the Borgo Panigale factory, which in Race 1 at Most fully occupied the podium also thanks to Yari Montella’s 3rd place. Another positive performance for the Italian colors, although there was fear for Danilo Petrucci’s bad crash during the first lap, with the BMW rider currently in hospital for further examinations after initial checks at the Czech circuit Medical Center.

Race report
After Bulega’s fifth consecutive Superpole (he has obtained all the pole positions of this championship), the race immediately started with a scare for Petrucci: declared fit to race just for this weekend, the BMW rider crashed heavily in turn 13, with the first Medical Center reports showing a contusion to the lower back and left hip. Currently in hospital for further examinations, the race (which Alvaro Bautista did not participate in, declared unfit for this weekend after three fractures to his right foot following a crash in FP3) was immediately suspended after the accident, with the race shortened by one lap. At the restart, Bulega maintained the lead ahead of Montella, who was faster than Lecuona at the red lights going out. However, already on the fourth lap, the Spaniard overtook the Campanian rider, starting to gradually reduce the gap to Bulega. Ten laps later, the chase ended with an attack on the teammate, followed by an attempt to pull away from #11. A mission that, despite the attempt to pull away, failed: in the final stages, in fact, the world championship leader caught up with Lecuona, returning to first place and holding it until the checkered flag.
