Start issues cost Nicolo Bulega at UK WorldSBK: “Three races, three bad starts”
Factory Ducati WorldSBK rider Nicolo Bulega expressed that he struggled with poor starts on his Ducati Panigale V4 R at the UK WorldSBK event, despite finishing in second place behind Razgatlioglu in all three races at Donington. Bulega had to fight his way to second position in each race due to the issues with launching off the line. He acknowledged improvements made after the Superpole Race, but continued to face challenges with the starts. Bulega mentioned that the main issue seemed to be related to the aggressive clutch feel, causing the bike to wheelie and lose acceleration. The Italian rider also highlighted the close competition he faced from his teammate Alvaro Bautista towards the end of the race, attributed to a difference in tyre choice. Despite the challenges, Bulega managed to hold off Bautista in the final corners by pushing hard and braking late.
