Nicolò Bulega remembers the Ranch well, because that was a sort of gymnasium toward the jump into MotoGP. The Montecchio Emilia-born rider was in fact one of Valentino Rossi's protégés, so much so that in 2015 he raced his first wildcard in Valencia and then participated in the entire Moto3 Championship the following year under the colors of Sky Racing Team VR46.
In 2019, Bulega and VR46's roads parted with Nicolò deciding to take a new path. Yet relations with the Doctor remain good so much so that last weekend the Aruba rider returned to Tavullia at the Ranch itself.
At a distance of five years since the last time, it was in fact May 2019, the #11 had fun getting out of shape sideways with the flat track bike against many other riders. Among them obviously the host could not be missing, namely Valentino Rossi.
A confrontation on the dirt track between past and present seasoned with many emotions: "Yesterday I returned to the ranch after a while and I had a lot of fun," wrote Nicolò. Who knows, maybe we will see him in the near future at the 100km
