Nicolo Bulega admits he “will not be happy” if he’s overlooked for a MotoGP seat in 2027.
As Nicolo Bulega’s unbeaten streak in WorldSBK continues, he believes he deserves an opportunity to showcase his skills in MotoGP.
Despite the dominance of riders like Rea, Bautista, and Razgatlioglu in WorldSBK, Bulega’s performance with 19 consecutive wins in 2026 stands out as unprecedented.
If Ducati opts not to promote him to MotoGP, Bulega is determined to pursue his chance in the premier class, hinting at potential moves to Rossi’s VR46 team or considerations for a seat in Honda alongside Marini.
As the future unfolds with potential team shifts involving Morbidelli, di Giannantonio, and Aldeguer, the competition for MotoGP seats remains fierce, with Rossi’s inclination towards having an Italian rider influencing decisions.
Amidst these speculations, the Ducati Panigale V4 R’s proven prowess in WorldSBK positions Bulega well to continue contending for championships should his MotoGP ambitions not materialize.
