I have a question about BoP

I remember last year consequent Balance of Performance changes were made, limiting Ducati and BMW's fuel flow or something to even out the field on account of Ducati and BMW having too powerful bikes compared to the rest of the field.

This year it seems much worse, it's almost always every race Ducati 1-2-3 and Nicolo Bulega won almost every race. The only other race winner has been his teammate Iker Lecuona if I remember correctly.

I am asking because I don't know. Has there been balance of performance nerfs aimed at Ducati this year too or is that only a thing when Toprak was winning?

I don't have anything against Bulega, he's an amazing rider and deserves the championship 100% but if BoP were applied this year, it doesn't look like it was effective at all. I've been watching World SBK and World SSP for some 7 years I think and this was the least contested championship with the fewest different brands showing any sign of competitiveness I've seen.
