Ducati Lenovo rider Nicolo Bulega will replace Marc Marquez in the remaining two rounds of the season, the Portuguese GP and the Valencia GP.
Bulega earned the role after impressing in the Ducati Desmosedici test by Ducati Lenovo at the Jerez Circuit this week.
"Debuting in MotoGP is the dream of every kid who dreams of becoming a racer. Plus, riding the World Champion's bike for the final two races of the 2025 season makes it even more exciting," Bulega told the MotoGP website on Saturday.
The 2025 World Superbike runner-up is preparing to make his MotoGP debut at the Portuguese GP on November 7-9.
