The untold story between Nicolo Bulega and Marc Marquez has finally surfaced. In an exclusive interview at EICMA Milan, Bulega shared details regarding the incident that occurred during the Race of Champions at the World Ducati Week. Despite the contact on the track, Bulega emphasized that their relationship remains professional and respectful.
Bulega shared that the eight-time world champion contacted him the very night after the race to offer a personal apology. "Yes, he called me the night after the race and asked for forgiveness. At the end of the day, making a mistake is something that can happen. It is something that is already in the past," Bulega revealed. The gesture went beyond just words, as Marquez also gifted him his personal helmet as a sign of reconciliation.
"He wanted to give me his helmet to apologize. He wrote on the visor that I am a very fast rider and that I have a very beautiful riding style," Bulega added. He noted that he deliberately kept the story private for over two years to avoid unnecessary controversy or speculation among fans and the media.
Regarding Marquez's recent praise for his performance, Bulega admitted he felt highly motivated. Knowing that a legend recognizes his potential as a rider to watch for the upcoming season has been a massive confidence boost. Bulega recently concluded a historic season in WorldSBK, where he matched the 52-win milestone of Troy Bayliss while setting a record for the most wins in a single season.
Bulega reflected on his achievements with humility, noting that matching Bayliss's victory tally was a childhood dream come true. With his focus now set on future challenges, Bulega is ready to carry this positive momentum into the next stage of his racing career.
