Nicolò Bulega’s extensive testing of Ducati’s new 850cc MotoGP prototype has sparked debate in the paddock. KTM test rider Pol Espargaró called the advantage “crazy” and “unfair”, pointing to Bulega’s experience with the bike and Pirelli tyres. Bulega has completed around 10 private test days, while several 2027 rivals must wait until December to ride the new package.
