Just ten days after a dominant performance in Cremona, the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati squad is wasting no time. The team has already set up shop at the Autodrom Most in the Czech Republic, where the fifth round of the 2025 WorldSBK season is set to unfold this weekend. With momentum on their side, both Nicolò Bulega and Alvaro Bautista have clear objectives—but face very different challenges.

Bulega Eyes Consistency Amid Unfavourable Terrain

Nicolò Bulega arrives in Most with confidence riding high and a 34-point lead over Toprak Razgatlioglu (BMW) in the championship standings. After sweeping the Italian round, the rookie sensation is aiming to extend his lead, even on a track that doesn’t naturally complement his riding style.

“I’m aware that the one at Most is not one of the circuits that best suits my riding style, but we’ll try our best as we did in the last round,” Bulega remarked. “We know the competition is robust at this track, but we are ready to give battle.”

His approach signals maturity beyond his years, acknowledging the challenge while showing no signs of backing down. Ducati will be banking on Bulega’s adaptability and continued synergy with the Panigale V4 R.

Bautista Returns to a Circuit of Milestones in WorldSBK

For teammate Alvaro Bautista, Most holds sentimental weight. It was here that he secured Ducati’s historic 1000th WorldSBK win in 2023. While 2025 has yet to yield a victory for the defending champion, signs of progress are evident.

“This is a very different circuit, as is the weather, which will be harsh. Anyway, I am confident because our direction is the right one,” Bautista shared. “The feeling with the bike is growing round after round. It will be essential to work hard on the tyre choice.”

With changing weather conditions expected and tyre management critical at Most, Bautista’s experience and technical precision could prove vital in his pursuit of a season-first win.

A Crucial Weekend Ahead

The Most circuit promises tight battles, unpredictable conditions, and a pivotal moment in the title race. Bulega will be defending his lead, while Bautista seeks redemption and momentum. For Aruba.it Racing – Ducati, the mission is clear. They have to maintain control of the championship narrative and keep the red bikes at the front of the field.

As the 2025 WorldSBK season intensifies, all eyes turn to the Czech Republic, where grit, strategy, and a touch of Ducati brilliance may once again define the weekend.
