Iker Lecuona set the fastest time in the 2026 WorldSBK warm-up at Estoril, finishing 0.010 seconds ahead of Nicolo Bulega. The session took place at the Autodromo do Estoril, and the two riders were the only competitors to lap in the 1m34s bracket. The narrow margin at the front made them the clear pace-setters of the session.

Ducati dominated the top of the classification. Lorenzo Baldassarri took third place, with Alberto Surra fourth and Yari Montella fifth, giving the manufacturer all five positions at the head of the order. Lecuona therefore held the warm-up lead over Bulega, although the gap between the two was measured in only one hundredth of a second.

Alex Lowes was the highest-placed rider outside Ducati in sixth. Axel Bassani followed in seventh, ahead of Alvaro Bautista, Sam Lowes and Garrett Gerloff, who completed the top 10. The Estoril warm-up consequently ended with Lecuona at the front and Bulega close behind, while the Ducati presence remained strongest across the leading positions.
