A race track that had so often been dominated by Rea and Kawasaki, Bautista’s treble at Assen served as another reminder that the 2022 season was not an indication of his maximum potential, but instead what was to come on an even more coཧnsistent basis.
Bautista is already over 100 points clear o𒀰f Rea, while also holding an advantage of 56 over his closest challenger, which is Razgatlioglu.
Speaking about his stunning achievem𓃲ent, Bautista said: "I🐈t’s a fantastic feeling. It is an incredible milestone for Ducati to achieve 400 victories. On my side, I’m happy but more than the results, my feeling with the bike is amazing.
"Yesterday, I felt good but with some problems in the race tဣhat maybe you could not see because I won. I know when I can go💙 faster or when I can have a better feeling or when not.
"Today we changed the set-up of the bike and already in🔯 the morning I felt much 𒁏better. In the Superpole race I pushed harder and harder and I saw the limit of the bike was further than yesterday.
"I was able to go really fast in the Superpole Race and in Race 2 I was able to be more precise with 𒁏my riding."
Bautista 𒅌has been making most of the difference during the middle and latter part of races, as tyre ♑conservation has been one of his biggest strengths over the last two seasons.
However, Bautista did admit that his current form is the best he can do, although it remains plenty good enough baꦏsed on his results.
"In the end, I could have a good pa𓃲ce, push to my limit, the limit of the bike and I’m ha✨ppy because I did that," added Bautista.
"This is the ‘maximum of Bautista’. If there are other riders than can go faster; believe me I can’t. Itಞ has been a perfect weekend for us."
