Nicolo Bulega missing “perfect feeling” to beat Toprak Razgatlioglu in Jerez WorldSBK Race 2
“Anyway, I did an ꦉincredible race, fighting with the World Champion, so I’m happy.”

After victories in both Race 1 and the Superpole Race at the WorldSBK Spanish Round, Nicolo Bulegs was chasing a f🐼irst-ever triple win in Race 2 at Jeꦦrez, but ultimately missed out to Toprak Razgatlioglu.
Bulega explained that he missed the🎃 feeling he had in Race 1 and the Superpole Race in the third and final race of the weekend, Race 2, which prevented him from being able to beat Razgatlioglu in what was a red-flagged final race of the season.
“It would have been nice if I was able to try [to pass Razgatlioglu],” Bulega to♍ld Eurosport after Race 2 in Jerez.
“But, anyway, it was a good race. T🅠oprak [Razgatlioglu] was very fast, amazing pace from b🌃oth [of us].
“Unfortunately, I didn’t have the perfect feeling in the front like I had all the weekend, maybe because 🤡the track temperature w𒐪as more hot.
“But, anyway, I did an incredible rac💖e, fighting with the World Champion, so I’m happy.”
Race 2 brought to an end what has been an impressiv🔥e rookie season in WorldSBK for Bulega, who ends his first top class campaign with six wins and s♊econd in the riders’ standings,
“It’s incredible to achieve these resul⛄ts already🔜 in my first year,” Bulega said.
“So, I just ha💟ve to be not happy 100 per cent but 400 per cent. I’m really h𝕴appy. I will work a lot during this winter to try to fight even more next year.
Bulega co꧃ncluded that his strong💜 rookie year means he has a “very good potential” for his second WorldSBK season in 2025.
He said: “I imagine that, if I’m second and I’m not 100 per cent happy in my first year, it means that we have to work because 🎃we have a very good potential for next year.”
