standings.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian manufacturer have amassed 434 points, 242 clear of nearest challenger Bimota.<\/p>\n<p>Should Bulega complete another perfect weekend, Ducati would establish an unassailable lead and secure a fifth consecutive manufacturers&#8217; title with four rounds to spare.<\/p>\n<p>The teams&#8217; championship is also within reach, as Iker Lecuona&#8217;s consistent performances behind Bulega have helped Aruba.it Racing &#8211; Ducati record six one-two finishes across the opening seven rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Bulega, meanwhile, will have to wait a little longer to clinch the riders&#8217; championship.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of this weekend&#8217;s results, the Italian cannot mathematically secure the crown until the French Round at Magny-Cours in September at the earliest.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;
