Nicolo Bulega tries to explain WorldSBK DNFs

“It’s difficult because I ꧙was v🌞ery good, I had a good race with a lot of overtakes,” Bulega said.

“With two laps to go, the bike stopped for the second time. Obviously, I’m 🦩not happy, but I don’t know what to say.

“I didn’t ask but I feel like the pro💙blem is the same, but I don’t know 🍒if that’s true.

“When I put t🍎he gear in on the straight, the bike switched off.

“I dominated but I didn’t bring home a lot, they give🦩 th꧋e points after the chequered flag and not for being fast.

“I’ll go home with confidence that I’m really strong and⛄ have a good package, but we lost too much.

“I wasn’t thinking about Toprak, I was just thinking about overtaking everybody and trying to win because I knew I was very fast on Saturday and 🦩at the start of Race 2, I had a good feeling.”

🐓Razgatlioglu had worried after ✨Bulega’s win on Saturday in Race 1 that it was a season for Ducati to dominate.

But two DNFs on Sunday added a surprise la༒yer🃏 of detail to the championship battle.

Razg🦂atlioglu was a lowly eighth in Race 2 yet it was enough to stay within touching distance of Bulega, whose weekend came to an abrupt halt.

The next round is the Italian Wo⛦rldSBK at Cremona on May 2-4.
