Brian Bulgaç (born 7 April 1988) is a Dutch professional road bicycle racer, who rode most recently for Team Vorarlberg.
Born in Amsterdam, Bulgaç started his sports career as a duathlete. He took part in several Junior European and World Championships, finishing three times in the top 20. The highlight of his duathlon career came in 2008 when he became third of Europe at the Under-23 European Duathlon Championships in Serres. He had a bright future ahead in the sport but due to an achilles tendon injury he was told by his physio therapist to just train on a bicycle for a while. His interest in cycling grew and by the time he was allowed to walk again he decided to focus on cycling.
With a second place in stage two and a third place overall of the Tour de Liège in 2009 Bulgaç earned a spot in the Rabobank Continental Team for the 2010 season. His performances for Rabobank were not convincing enough to keep him in the team for 2011 with a fifth place in the prologue of the Jadranska Magistrala and a ninth place in the Ronde van Midden-Nederland as his best results.
The Omega Pharma–Lotto team offered him a chance to perform in some smaller races with its development team. He took a second place in the third stage of the Triptyque Ardennaise and won the general classification of a race that has been previously won by riders like Ivan Basso, Paolo Tiralongo and Philippe Gilbert. Later that year he also won the general classification of the Tour de Liège. With help from former professional cyclist Kurt Van De Wouwer he managed to get a professional contract with Lotto–Belisol.
