Nicolo Bulega is the definition of ‘career reinvention’. The Italian burned very bright, very quickly when he was plucked out of junior competition by the VR46 Academy. He lunged into Moto3 full of confidence and untapped hype. Pole Position at the Spanish Grand Prix led to a first podium finish in just his fifth race to indicate that another Italian starlet was on the way up. However, Nicolo’s GP career and an attempt at Moto2 petered out with injury, a loss of form and a loss of opportunity. He moved to WorldSBK and the World Supersport category to reset in 2022. By 2023 he was firmly on the ascendancy and was defeated in only 8 of 24 races to become Supersport World Champion. WorldSBK beckoned with Ducati and the wave of confidence continued with victory on his debut and then another five success, as well as a slew of podiums to finish P2 for the year. Nicolo is now a title favorite for 2025.
