After🅷 three seasons in Moto3, Nicolo Bulega will be promoted to the Moto2 team in place༒ of MotoGP-bound Francesco Bagnaia.

Bulega, who took two podiums in his debut 2016 grand prix season but has struggled with his physical size si🎶nce, will ride a Kalex alongs🦹ide the retained Luca Marini.

"After three years in Moto3, I feel ready to embark on this new adventure," said Bulega. "I will give the best of ꧂myself because I am very motivated, and I am very 𓃲happy to have the Sky Racing Team VR46 at my side for this key moment in my career.

"I will continue to stay focused on this season, but it's 🦹true that I'm looking forward to getting on my new bike.”

Replacing Bulega in the junior class team will be Celestino Vietti Ramus, who races for the VR46 Riders Academy in ꩲthe FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship.

Ramus will be team-mate to current rookie Dennis 🤡Foggia, on KT🌞M machinery.

"Thanks to Francesco [Bagnaia], we have reached our goal and for the first time ever,꧅ one of our riders will enter MotoGP next season with a package that is so powerful," said team manager Pablo Nieto.

"Together, we have achieved great things and we must be proud of it, but we must also move forward by continuing to support young Italians with the same p🐼rofessionalism and passion. We need to stay motivated and keep the sense of detail.

"To give new life to our project, we decided to line up two rookies al꧃ongside the confirmed Luca Marini and Dennis Foggia.

"On the one hand, Nicolo will make his Moto2 debut on a motorcycle that should be better suit🍌ed to his size and should allow him to express his full potential. Expectations are great.

"Celestino will join our Moto3 structure after two years in the Junior Team. He is young, but ultra motivated and ready to make the jump. Fr🍌om a purely technical point of view, we played the caꦕrd of stability by deciding to prolong with KTM in Moto3 and Kalex in Moto2."
