It was a challenging Saturday for the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team at the Aragon circuit, as hopes for a strong performance were dashed early on. Following a red flag caused by Lowes’ Ducati experiencing a technical issue on the first lap, Nicolò Bulega lined up in Pole Position, ready to make the most of his opportunity. However, just moments into the warm-up lap, disaster struck when Bulega sensed something wrong with his Ducati Panigale V4, forcing him to pull over and abandon the race.
Reflecting on the disappointment, Nicolò Bulega said, “There is little to say. The sensations were perfect, and I was convinced I could have a great race. Instead, we lost many points. Tomorrow, we’ll try to recover.”
Despite the setback, Bulega remains determined to bounce back in Sunday’s races, looking to make up for lost ground and salvage vital points for the championship battle. The team will work tirelessly overnight to ensure the bike is ready to compete at the highest level, with Bulega eager to put the disappointment behind him and fight at the front once again.
