Having previously announ♑ced thaꦍt he would be leaving VR46, Nicolo Bulega has signed to ride for Gresini in the 2020 Moto2 World Championship.

The It🥃alian teenager has agreed a two-year deal and is set to form part of a two rider line-up alongside a to-be-confirmed team-mate.

Gresini's current rider, Sam Lo🧜wes, is moving to Marc VDS next season.

“The agreeꦜment 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," said Bulega, a VR46 rider since his Moto3 debut at Valencia 201ಞ5.

"I can’t wait to start this new journey, although the seaso🐭n 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 Te🐈am 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.”

“Our Moto2 season hasn’t gone very w🌳ell so far this year, even though we still hope to finish it on a high note," said team manager Fausto Gresini. "For next year, though, we are putting together a great team, which will consist of two riders with one of them being Nicolò Bulega.

"He’s 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’s one of the best It🍸alian talent𝕴s around. I can’t wait for things to get started and to be working with such a talented rider.”

Bulega, who took two podiums in Moto3, is currently ranked 17th in his rookie Moto2 season. Both VR46 and Gresin🌌i use the Kalex chassis.
