This will be a day that Nicolò Bulega will hardly ever forget, as he was announced as the new rider for Aruba.it Racing – Ducati starting in 2024, which is a ‘dream come true’, as the Italian rider stated.
In a team statement, the future Superbike rider began by discussing the significance of this news: ‘I want to be honest: this is a dream come true. Racing for a factory team is every rider’s desire. So, before talking about my emotions and expectations, I want to thank Ducati and Aruba.it Racing’.
Bulega also took the opportunity to praise and thank his current team: ‘I am extremely grateful for the opportunity given to me last season by Aruba.it and Feel Racing, and especially by Stefano Cecconi, Serafino Foti, and Daniele Casolari. They chose me to race on a fantastic Ducati Panigale V2, in which I immediately felt comfortable. I know how important this opportunity is and I will always give my best to improve, day after day, with the sole aim of achieving the best possible results. I say it again: thank you for the trust’.
He ended by saying that the red suit makes him proud, not forgetting his future teammate:
– Thinking about the history of this team, where great champions have always raced, I feel proud to be able to defend the same colors. Furthermore, I am very happy to share the box with Álvaro Bautista. Having him as a teammate will be a great advantage: I will try to absorb all the information I can learn from him.
