Bulega Tests Spark Ducati Anger

Nicolo Bulega's extensive testing of Ducati's 850cc MotoGP prototype has sparked controversy among riders ahead of the Michelin-to-Pirelli switch.

Riders are expressing anger over Nicolo Bulega getting extensive testing time with Ducati's 850cc MotoGP prototype as the sport prepares for a major tire supplier change from Michelin to Pirelli in 2027.

So far, only two official test days have been held behind closed doors at Brno and Spielberg where some full-time riders tested the new prototypes on Pirelli tires. Many riders feel the testing opportunity is unfair, with Bulega reportedly getting significantly more track time than others. saltysenoritaaz.org
