"Crazy and unfair": Bulega tests Ducati 850cc MotoGP bike

Nicolo Bulega has faced criticism after extensively testing Ducati's new 850cc MotoGP prototype with Pirelli tires, with some riders calling the testing "crazy and unfair."

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, including Bulega, getting the opportunity to test the new 850cc prototypes.

The extensive testing has sparked controversy among riders who feel the opportunity is not being distributed fairly. Bulega's participation in these tests has drawn particular criticism, with some describing the situation as "crazy and unfair" as the 2027 season approaches. newsindata.org
