Bulega Tests Ducati 850cc Amid Rider Fury

Ducati rider Nicolo Bulega has sparked controversy by extensively testing the manufacturer's new 850cc MotoGP prototype, drawing criticism from fellow competitors.

The switch from Michelin to Pirelli tires represents one of the biggest changes in MotoGP for the 2027 season. Official test days have been held behind closed doors at Brno and Spielberg, with some full-time riders getting opportunity to test the new prototypes on Pirelli rubber. biznow.biz

Many riders are reportedly upset that Bulega has had more extensive testing time than others, with some calling the situation 'crazy and unfair.' The controversy adds to the already significant changes coming to MotoGP next year, including the displacement reduction from 1000cc to 850cc.
