| Nicolo Bulega Set for Emotional MotoGP Reunion with Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Team. |
There's something heartwarming brewing in the world of motorcycle racing—especially for longtime fans of Valentino Rossi and MotoGP. Nicolo Bulega, once a rising star under Rossi’s mentorship, is making headlines in Italy for a potential comeback... and maybe even a reunion with the VR46 MotoGP team.
Back in the day, Bulega was seen as a future MotoGP sensation when he joined Rossi’s Sky Racing VR46 team in Moto3. But things didn’t quite go as planned. His performance was underwhelming, and after a few years, their paths quietly drifted apart.
Now? The script has flipped.
Ducati Betting Big on Bulega After WorldSBK Success
Fast forward to 2025, and Bulega is on fire. He’s currently leading the World Superbike Championship (WorldSBK) standings—outperforming big names like Toprak Razgatlioglu from BMW. That’s no small feat.
Ducati, clearly impressed, is rumored to be working on a new contract extension. According to Italian site GPOne, the deal would keep Bulega in WorldSBK through 2026, but with a twist: he’d begin testing MotoGP machinery in preparation for a possible move to VR46 in 2027.
Here’s where it gets even more strategic. The 2027 season will see new rules and a switch from Michelin to Pirelli tires in MotoGP—something that favors Bulega, who’s already got solid experience riding on Pirellis in WorldSBK.
A Quiet Personality, But Big Results
Part of Bulega’s appeal, especially to Ducati, is his quiet, no-drama personality. He’s not out there chasing headlines—but he’s absolutely delivering where it counts: on the track.
It’s a stark contrast to his earlier years in Moto3 and Moto2, where he struggled to leave a mark. But now, he’s proving exactly why Rossi believed in him in the first place.
A Full Circle Moment in the Making
If this deal pans out, it would mark a beautiful full-circle moment: the former student returning—this time, not as a prospect, but as a proven competitor—ready to represent Rossi’s VR46 team on the MotoGP stage.
Should Bulega clinch the 2025 WorldSBK title, it’ll only strengthen his case. That would be a massive statement—especially since it’s just his second year racing superbikes.
More than just a career upgrade, this potential reunion feels deeply personal. It’s about redemption, growth, and the long game in motorsports.
From Rising Star to Resilient Racer
Nicolo Bulega’s story is a reminder that not all careers take a straight path—and that sometimes, it takes a detour to find your way back stronger than ever.
If everything goes according to plan, 2027 might not just be the start of a new MotoGP era with rule changes and tire swaps—it could also be the year we witness one of the most emotional reunions in MotoGP history.
Keep an eye on Bulega. His journey isn’t just inspiring—it’s far from over.
