Nicola Bulega to Aprilia in MotoGP? He predicts Jorge Martin replacement
Nicola Bulega asked about🐟 shock move to Aprilia in MotoGP

Nicola Bulega has been linked with a future MotoGP move as a part🅰 of his latest Ducati contract talks.
The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship leader ♔is in negotiations because his current deal with Du🧜cati expires at the end of this season.
But Aprilia were raised as an a🎶lternative destination due to the uncertainty in the rider mar♓ket.
MotoGP champion’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s hint that he could quit Aprilia in 2026 potentially leaves an 🅠unexpecꦕted factory seat vacant.
Amid the debate about who Aprilia could sign instead - if they fail to keep hold of the contracted Martin - Bulega was asked about the free bike.
“They haven’t called me,” Bulega told GPOne during the WorldSBK Most round.
“I am now focused oౠn World Super🐈bikes although it is clear that MotoGP is the dream of every rider.
“I don’t hide the fact that I would like it,✃ but Aprilia is an official🔜 team and therefore must aim to score great results.
“And then I remain of the idea that the right year for me to go to MotoGP would ﷺbe 2027, and not ne💯xt year, when everything would the same and I would need at least two years to do the first apprenticeship.”
Nicola Bulega predicts Jorge Martin replacement
In 2027, MotoGP’s official tyre supplier will change to Pirel♐li, which WorldSBK already uses.
That means that Bulega or Toprak Razgat꧃lioglu, who is also heavily linked to a MotoGP switch, could enter with an advantage of how to ride with Pi🍸relli tyres.
Bulega predicted a fellow🌌 Italian would inherit Martin’s seat at Aprilia.
“Who will go to Aprilia? For me, Enღea Bastianini,” he claimed.
Bastianini lost his factory Ducati sea🅘t this year to Marc Marquez.
He joined Tech3 KTM but has never 🅷got to grips with his new bike, unlike teammate🐼 Maverick Vinales.
The vacancy at Aprilia - Italy’s other major manufacturer - might naturally💟 entice Bastianini.
168澳洲幸𒆙运꧒5官方开奖结果历史:Bastianini is also admired by Pramac Yamaha.
However, Apriliaℱ might not need to look elsewhere.
Despite the suggestions a🍌bout Martin’s exit, he remains under contract in 2026. There are suggestions he will give Aprilia six races, after his comeback from injury, to prove their worth.
Bulega, meanwhile, is left li🌳kely to re-sign with Ducati in WorldSBK.
He said before Most: “I want to♛ stay focused on World Superb♓ike because now I’m racing here and our goal is to try to win the championship this year and next year, and then we will see.”
Bulega won Race 2 in the Czech Republic🔴 on Sunday after rival Ra☂zgatlioglu got the better of him on Saturday.
