Nicolò Bulega may be particularly affected during the Portimão round of the World Superbike Championship. The Aruba.it Ducati rider exhibited symptoms of flu syndrome, including fever, on Thursday.
According to GPOne.com, the second-place championship contender stayed in the hotel yesterday after experiencing fever since arriving in Portugal. The symptom persisted on Friday morning.
Bulega’s participation may even be at risk. The first free practice session is scheduled for 13:15 this Friday, and it will be an opportunity to see if the Italian takes part and how his condition affects his performance if he does.
With only one win so far, Bulega is the main rival to Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW) in the championship. He is 64 points behind the Turk, who has won the last ten races.
