After vict🍎ories in both Race 1 and the Superpole Race at the WorldSBK Spanish Round, Nicolo Bulegs was chasing a first-ever triple win in Race 2 at♏ Jerez, but ultimately missed out to Toprak Razgatlioglu.

Bulega explained that he missed the feeling he had in Race 1 and the Superpole Race in the third and final race of the weekend, Race 2, which prevented him from being able to beat Razgatliꦡoglu in what was a red-flagged final race of the season.

“It would have been n🎃ice if I was able to try [to pass Razgatlioglu],” Bulega tꦬold Eurosport after Race 2 in Jerez.

“But, anyway, it was a good race. Toprak [Razgatlioglu] was very 🐎fast, amazing pace from bo💃th [of us].

“Unfortunately, I didn’t have the perfect feeling in the front like I had all the weekend, maybe because the track te☂mperature was more hot.

“But, anyway, I did an incredible race, fighting with the World C♛hampion, so I’m happy.”

Race 2 brought to an end what has been an impressive rookie season in WorldSBK for Bulega, who ends his first top c෴lass campaign with six 🌃wins and second in the riders’ standings,

“It😼’s incredible to achi𒅌eve these results already in my first year,” Bulega said.

“So, I just have to be not happy 100 per cent but 400 per cent. I’m really happy. I will work a lot du🌠ring this winter to try to fight even more next year.

Bulega concluded that his strong rookie year means he has a “very go💛od potential” for𝓡 his second WorldSBK season in 2025.

He said: “I imagine that, if💜 I’m second and I’m not 100 per cent happy in my first year, it means that we have to work because we have a very good potential for next year.”
