Nicolo Bulega topped the timesheets🌠 on Day 1 of the postseason World Superbike test - then opted to go home early.

Satisfied that he had tested everything necessary, Bulega chose not to take p📖art in Day 2 of the WSBK test on Wednesday.

“I am happy, we tried small and different things. They worked quit♋e good,” Bulega reacted.

“We were lucky because my feeling with the bike was💃 already very good from the race, so we 𒀰didn’t lose time to find a good set-up. We started the test with a good base.”

With the soft tyre, Bulega posted a bes🥂t lap of 1:38.142 on Tuesday.

He went quicker than ඣAlvaro Bautista, Garrett Gerloff and Xavi Vierge.

“I am more happy with🐎 the race pace,” Bulega said.

“We 🦄diꦜd a lot of laps, and we don’t have a lot of things to try.

“We tried ꦬthings [🦂on Tuesday] which are different so we decided to go home one day before.

“We collected a lot𓃲 of data [on Tuesday]. We know where ▨we have to work.

“Ducati a🍬nd my team will go home with this data to improve our package, which is already very good.

“But you have to improve every year, always.

“I will 𒀰rest be♏cause the last part of the season was tough.

“Then, I'll🍃 start to train very hard for next season.ꦛ”

Bulega insisted the improvement will c🔯ome in the “small details”, saying “you can always improve a bit”.

The Italian rider finished as runner-up in the World Superbike Championship, behind Toprak Razꦜgatlioglu, in his rookie season.

He has vowed to return in 2025 better-prepared to claim the tit🦂le.

“I am really proud of what I did this year. I ☂improve🌠d a lot as a rider, also as a man,” Bulega said.

“I am happy for what I achieved.

“I know what I have to do next season to be 🐈more prepared.”
