Reports say Nicolo Bulega's promotion to MotoGP remains "not yet settled," with VR46 and Ducati said to disagree over key contract terms. The future of Bulega, who has built a strong record in WorldSBK, is a major storyline shaping next season's rider market.
Getting stuck on contract clauses is an everyday thing in racing. A seat isn't decided by speed alone, and that's both cruel and interesting. Bulega is the real deal, someone who's delivered results in WorldSBK. A talent I'd love to see in the premier class. I just hope he doesn't get buried under a tug-of-war over fine print.

How good a track record does Bulega actually have in WorldSBK?
Haven't the specifics come out yet on which exact contract clause they're at odds over?
I'd guess it's mostly about things like seat-tenure guarantees or buyout clauses after a promotion.
A conflict like this surfacing between VR46 and Ducati really shows how hard team management can be.
Bulega's got plenty of results in WorldSBK, so the promotion to MotoGP itself seems like a fair progression.
Being at odds over contract terms suggests this isn't just about skill or motivation, there's real behind-the-scenes politics involved.
