The announcement of Alv♒aro Bautista’s continuation with the factory Ducati WorldSBK team means that there will be complete stability in the Arub♏a.it Racing garage next season.

Nicolo Bulega replaced Michael Ruben Rinaldi for this year,ꦯ after winning the WorldSSP title🎃 last year, and has made a strong rookie campaign.

A win in his first race has been followed up by aꦺ number of podiums for Bulega, who has als🔯o successfully integrated into Ducati’s WorldSBK team alongside Bautista.

“I feel good,” Bulega told WorldSBK.com ahead of this weekend’s French Round at Magny-Co💮urs on the subject of Bautista’s renewal. “It’s good news, also for me, because I have a great relationship with Alvaro [Bautista], I learn a lot of things from him every weekend, I check his data every session.”

Bulega said that his time as Bautista’s teammate so far has been instructive, rather than a tough match-up as had been perhaps expe🅠cted before the season as he walked into the garage of the꧃ reigning and two-time WorldSBK Champion.

“Someone said at the beginning of the season that it was very difficult foܫr me to have him a💮s a teammate, but for me it was a very good opportunity because I knew that I could understand a lot of things from him.

“It was not a bad news for me to be his teammate, so 💜I’m happy to have him again next year.”
