Current WorldSBK points leader Nicolo Bulega is expected to continue with Ducati in the production derivativeꩲ series in 2026, having declined an offe✃r from BMW.

Bulega has ignored “a🌠n attractive economic proposal from BMW”, according to Italian broadcaster Skౠy Italia.

This would be to replace Bulega’s current chief 2025 World Superbike title rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu, who is expected to make his own MotoGP move with the Pramac Yamaha team.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nicolo Bulega, though, is inst෴ead expected to sign a new contract to stay at Ducati in WorldSBK, but the new deal will include the possibility to test MotoGP machinery in 2026.

With the reg🤪ulation change coming in the premier class of grand prix racing in 2027, Bulega’s testing would take place on the prototype o🐈f Ducati’s first 850cc Desmosedici, with no ride height device and Pirelli tyres.

That 2026 testing programme could lead to a race seat in MotoGP in 2027 on an official Ducati contract, similar to what 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fermin Aldeguer and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Di Giannantonio currently have with the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Gresini Racing and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pertamina Enduro VR46 teams, respectively, in 2025.

While Bulega is expected to remain with the Arub🐻a.it Racing Ducati team next year, his teammate is expected to have a new identity.

This is because the factory Ducati squad has reportedly decided to exercise a clause in Bautista’s contract whicꦏh would see the second year of it, 2026, cancelled.

Bulega and Bautista have shared the Aruba Ducati 𒉰box since ﷽Bulega made his debut season in 2024 when he stepped up as World Supersport Champion.

But the Italian’s superior results to the 40-year-old double World Superbike Champion over last year and the first part of this season (Bautista hasn’t finished ahead of Bulega in a WorldSBK race since he won Race 2ꦗ at Aragon last September).

In ൲contrast, it’s Bulega’s performance versus not only Bautista but 🎶also the aforementioned Razgatlioglu that has prompted the possibility of a future MotoGP move for the 25-year-old.
