WorldSBK Ducati rider and MotoGP tester Nicolo Brega: “You have to be a bit more of an asshole in the motorcycle world. Bagnaia is a great guy. That might be too much.”
Nicolo Brega is the rider most likely to become WorldSBK world champion in 2026. The Italian has been second in the overall rankings for the second consecutive year behind Toprak Razgatrioglu. And although the Turk will be absent next year and will race in MotoGP with Pramac Yamaha, the Italian and Aruba.it Racing Ducati rider will be the rival to beat on the track. And 11 is also part of it. MotoGP Borgo Panigale test development team.
“The title I lost this year has not been forgotten, and I have not lost touch with MotoGP.” (…) I’m happy to be a favorite to win next year and it’s more of a motivation than a pressure, because it means that everyone considers me the most complete driver and the one to beat,” Brega recently pointed out in a statement to GPOne.
Nicolo will also compete in the highest category of the Motorcycle World Championship in 2025. Appointed as official Ducati team replacing Marc Marquez: “It was very exciting when I took to the track in FP1 in Portimao and I said a lot to myself in the helmet (…) What if your future goal is a red MotoGP bike? Who wouldn’t want that! “That would be beautiful, but a lot of things have to fall into place for that to happen.”
Regarding the current MotoGP World Champion, the Italian admitted: “Unlike Bagnaia, it would be easier for me to have him as a teammate.” Because I’m just a rookie and Pekko is a champion. We are delighted to partner with Mark. “I will try to learn as much as I can, like I did with Alvaro Bautista.”.
“Bagnaia? You have to be a little bit more of an asshole in the motorcycle world and he’s a great guy, maybe that too.”. “We have always had a great relationship with Pecco, although we lost touch a bit after he left Valentino Rossi’s academy,” Brega revealed during the talk.
Regarding the Tavullia product, Nicolo added: “We met recently at his farm and he asked me a lot of questions. He is a very curious person and always asks me a lot of questions. We have a very good relationship.” When I got the opportunity to compete in MotoGP in October, I had doubts and called him to get his opinion. He told me to run without thinking.. I know in my heart that if I need him, he will be there. ”

One of the two new teams on the Formula 1 grid is preparing to introduce its car for the 2026 season. The Audi team will officially reveal the new car at a special event in Berlin on Tuesday, January 20.
Audi has fully taken over Sauber’s project ahead of the 2026 season and will start its first Formula 1 championship as a factory team and power unit manufacturer. The team has also retained a significant portion of its 2025 Sauber structure, including team boss Jonathan Whitley and drivers Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg.
This will make Audi the fourth team to submit designs for its 2026 car, after Red Bull, Racing Bulls and Haas. The presentation will take place in the German capital in the format of a full-fledged seasonal launch.
Following the main event, a separate event will be held in Berlin on Wednesday, January 21 for selected fans and media to take a closer look at the new car and its livery.
The presentation will start on January 20 at 20:00 Kyiv time. During the event, the team will reveal the car’s full design for the 2026 season.
Let’s remember that Audi had previously put the 2026 car on the track during promotional races at the Barcelona-Catalonia circuit in early January, but only a limited number of images were released at that time.

Formula 1 driver Nico Hulkenberg can count on a multimillion-dollar bonus in his first season with Audi if he can repeat the results in the 2025 season.
Last season, the German pilot reached the Formula 1 podium after 250 races for the first time in his career and finished the British Grand Prix in third place. At Silverstone, Hulkenberg was ahead of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and scored 15 points in one go.
Hulkenberg scored 51 points at the end of the 2025 season.
On the eve of Audi’s first season, specialized media reported that the 38-year-old pilot signed a contract providing a bonus of 50 thousand euros for each point earned in the 2026 season.
Given the large-scale changes in Formula 1, even the pilots themselves cannot yet predict the balance of power in the peloton. However, if Hulkenberg scores 51 points again, the bonus can reach 2 million 550 thousand euros in addition to his base salary at Audi.
If Nico manages to win the race and score the maximum 25 points, this will immediately earn him a bonus of 1,250,000 euros.
The team will present the appearance of its first car today at 20:00 Kyiv time.
