Superbike, Nicolò Bulega makes it a trio at Phillip Island and enters the history books

Hit start to the season for Nicolò Bulega. The 26-year-old Ducati rider dominated the first weekend of the Superbike World Championship. L’ace from Emilia won, in that of Phillip Island, all the races confirming that he is in great shape. In race 2, Nicolò Bulega, under an annoying rain, crossed the finish line first, ahead of Alex Bassani and Alvaro Bautista.

“When I saw that it was raining I was angry but I tried to turn this anger into energy and try to make a difference even under the water. It was a good race, maybe too long because I had to be twice or three times as careful as in the dry and from the middle of the race the track became very slippery” the winner’s words in the post-race.

Thanks to this success, Nicolò Bulega rises to 23 successes in SBK, becoming the’most successful Italian ever (surpassed Marco Melandri): “I am really happy to have become the most successful Italian after also surpassing Marco Melandri in the standings,” his comment.
