Nicolo Bulega<\/a> himself is, as you might expect for a rider facing the prospect of a MotoGP debut on the World Champion\u2019s bike, of a similar opinion to Razgatlioglu, but he is also wary of rushing into it.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m thinking it could be very good,\u201d Bulega said during the Jerez pre-event press conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut everybody would like to go on that bike because [Marc] Marquez\u2019s bike is\u2013 everybody wants to go there. Me too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think you have to do [by] doing a good step, like I did when I was in Supersport: I was racing in Supersport and Ducati let me ride sometimes the Ducati Superbike and then when I arrived to Superbike I was ready to race.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, for me the most important is not going to MotoGP just because I can say I ride a MotoGP bike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I have to go to MotoGP, I would like to make the things good and not be slow because at the end everybody says Superbike riders are slow. So, I don\u2019t want this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bulega is also uncertain of his future prospects of moving to MotoGP full-time although he feels that he has the potential to prove next year that he deserves a seat for 2027.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the moment, it\u2019s very early to say because we are talking about two years [from now],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s sure that he [Razgatlioglu] is going to MotoGP. Me? no. I\u2019m sure that I will race in Superbike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if next year I will be fast enough and Ducati think I can go to MotoGP in 2027, could be really good to fight again with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
