With only a few days from the start of their home GP, Team Gresini announce the signing of Nicol\u00f2 Bulega, who will race with the Faenza-based in the middleweight class of MotoGP. The Italian has reached a two-year agreement and will be one half of the Moto2 line up in 2020.<\/p>\n
In his rookie season in the class, Bulega has already achieved several top-ten finishes with a fourth place as his best qualifying in the series \u2013 at Mugello. Nicol\u00f2 Bulega is among the best Italian talents around and despite still being very young \u2013 he has yet to celebrate his 20th<\/sup>birthday \u2013 he already raced four seasons in the world championship with two podiums.<\/p>\n Gresini\u2019s Moto2 project keeps growing with great goals for the future. After signing Bulega, the team is now working on the second rider to complete the line-up for next year \u2013 and more news are expected soon.<\/p>\n NICOL\u00d3 BULEGA \u2013 FEDERAL OIL MOTO2 GRESINI RIDER<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis weekend is going to be filled with emotions, as I\u2019ll be racing at my home GP which is basically one km away from my home. To be riding in front of so many friends and family gives makes me really excited. The agreement with team Gresini for the next two seasons came in what is a very important moment in my career and it gives me fresh motivation. I can\u2019t wait to start this new journey, although the season is still very long; my intention is to work hard to wrap it up the best possible way with y current team, the Sky Racing Team VR46. After six seasons with them, four of which under the SKY Racing Team VR46 banner, it will be strange to be wearing different colours and have a different crew to work with, but I have to thank Fausto Gresini for the faith he put in me. I will try to repay him with great effort, dedication and results.\u201d<\/p>\n FAUSTO GRESINI \u2013 TEAM MANAGER<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOur Moto2 season hasn\u2019t gone very well so far this year, even though we still hope to finish it on a high note. For next year, though, we are putting together a great team, which will consist of two riders with one of them being Nicol\u00f2 Bulega. He\u2019s Italian, still very young and a great prospect so we are confident he will be doing great things with us. I really wanted to have him with us because I think he\u2019s one of the best Italian talents around. I can\u2019t wait for things to get started and to be working with such a talented rider.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With only a few days from the start of their home GP, Team Gresini announce the signing of Nicol\u00f2 Bulega, who will race with the Faenza-based in the middleweight class…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27743,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-moto2-en","category-breaking-news-moto2-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
