Moto2 2019, Jerez Tests: Nicolò Bulega was there!

Nicholas Bulega has had a hectic life in recent weeks. His end of season in Moto3 ended before the official end due to a domestic accident. A fact that rumor has portrayed as doubtful, forcing the father showed the injury on social media. Then there was the sound of a dismissal from the academy VR46 with the future mapped out in Moto2 blurred. The denial arrived, even if it was validated a little late... All that is in the past. Because in Jerez, for the first off-season tests of the category in full renewal, Bulega was there.

A two-day performance which was not bad since it passed the borders of the top 10. A return to the light which he commented as follows: “ the Moto3 season was not going the way I wanted. One of the reasons was that I was 1,81 m tall and weighed 69 kg. With Moto2, I can use my body differently. Progress has taken place. Saturday I was already faster than Friday »

Le pilote VR46 du Sky Racing Team ajoute : “like all VR46 pilots, I piloted 600s, like Migno and Bezzecchi“. L’Italien a terminé à la 11ème place ses premiers tests Moto2, à 0,787 seconde de son coéquipier Luca Marini, auteur du meilleur temps de la cinquième séance d’essais.

"J’aime beaucoup la moto, l’accélération est amusante, mais c’est aussi très difficile car il faut se battre pour que la roue avant ne se lève pas. Vous devez travailler correctement avec vos jambes et vos bras. Je vais m’entraîner comme un fou. Nous devons profiter de cette belle opportunité qui m’a été offerte “, a souligné la recrue de 19 ans.

Open up a raté le dernier Grand Prix de la saison 2018 après s’être blessé à la main droite dans un accident domestique. “Mon doigt me fait encore un peu mal, mais ça va mieux“, he concluded.
