The Aruba.it Ducati rider will line-up alongside two-time WorldSBK champion Alvaro Bautista, after a thoroughl♊y dominant display in WorldSSP last season. 

Bulega won 16 raꦑces in 2023 and w🌠as head and shoulders above the competition.

Much like Bautista in WorldSBK, Bulega’s raw speed and consistency was too much for ൲the rest to cope with, as he went on to claim Ducati’s first-ever Supersport title. 

“When I came to this paddock and to WorldSSP🍒 I knew it was my last possibility to be a professional rider,” said Bulega following a torrid time in Moto2. “It was the second ‘train’ in my life and whജen I came to this team I felt at home from the first test. 

“I remember the first test in November 2021 and when I remember entering the garage, seeing the faces of everyone becausℱe when I went to sleep the same night I felt very good on the bike.”

Bulega, who is replacing the outgoin💧g Michael Ruben Rinaldi in 2024, is the first rider since Andrea Locatelli in 2021 to go straight from WorldSSP to a factory rid🥃e in the premier class.

Speaking ༒about being world champion, Bulega told WorldSBK.com: “Being world champion is no🎃t something that can happen every year. 

“I🏅t is something I will remember for the rest of my life. The best moment of the season was winning the title in Race 1 at Portimao. 

“To be world champion and win the race i꧟s very special. But also, I ha🅺d great memories of the whole season.”
