Superbike, Ducati: Bulega renews, goodbye to Bautista

Nicolà Bulega has renewed his contract with Ducati: the rider from Emilia will race in Superbike again next season with the Aruba team, and will also fill the Borgo Panigale manufacturer’s test role in MotoGp, paired with Michele Pirro.

“I am very happy to start my career as a tester in Ducati for MotoGP. It’s a dream come true because not many riders get the chance to test the Desmosedici GP. This is an important opportunity for my career. The future? For now I only think about defending the colors of Aruba and Ducati in Superbike” these are the words reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.

Ducati, on the other hand, says goodbye to Alvaro Bautista, who will leave the team at the end of the season. According to reports from Gpone, the Borgo Panigale manufacturer has exercised the clause included in the contract to terminate the collaboration. Bulega will then have a new teammate in 2026.
