Bulega anger over Ducati 850cc tests

Riders are expressing anger over Nicolo Bulega's extensive testing of Ducati's new 850cc MotoGP prototype.

The switch from Michelin to Pirelli tyres represents one of the biggest changes in MotoGP for the 2027 season. Official test days at Brno and Spielberg have allowed some riders to test the new 850cc prototypes, but many are concerned about the perceived advantage gained by those who have had more extensive testing time.

Nicolo Bulega's extensive testing of Ducati's new machine has drawn particular criticism, with some riders describing the situation as "crazy and unfair" as they worry about competitive imbalance ahead of the major rule changes. capturengo.org
