Jorge Lorenzo thinks Bagnaia is ‘the best’ for ApriliaAnd Bulega agree. Yamaha is also interested in the two-time MotoGP champion.
“If someone like Peco doesn’t have a place in the factory Ducati, I don’t understand why he should go to private Ducati,” Bulega said. “I think so, but maybe he thinks differently.

Finally, Bulega was asked about the rumored movements of Quatararo, Martin and Acosta, all awaiting confirmation.
He suspects that Quatararo is partly motivated by the high wages at Honda, while Acosta is only concerned with riding a winning bike.

“The Quattroro has a big contract, and maybe only Honda can offer him something similar with a competitive bike,” Bulega said. “Acosta said he wanted to win, so Ducati would make sense.
