Bulega holding off both WorldSBK and MotoGP guys together at the Race of Champions is electrifying too. Even within a festival, once it's a competition, nobody yields. A huge cheer even for Bagnaia at 5th — that's the raw energy on the ground at Ducati. I love this kind of atmosphere more than I can say.

Can a WorldSBK rider actually beat a MotoGP rider?

Depends on track familiarity and the machine, but it's rare when it's actually a serious contest.

100 years, huh... reminds me of Ducati's air-cooled bevel-drive era.

It's a festival race, so it's probably best to discount how serious it actually was.

Even an exhibition, a win's a win. Still genuinely impressive.

At the Race of Champions, Bulega beating even the MotoGP crowd is quietly impressive.

Happy 100th anniversary. The largest-ever WDW is seriously exciting.
