After competitive outings at Jerez and Portimao last month, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Iannone was again in the positions many expect him to be in for much of the 2024 WorldSBK campaign.

The former MotoGP rider finished just under half a second down 🥃on Toprak Razgatlioglu, who along with Nicolo Bulega had a sizable advantage over everyone else.

• Alvaro Bautista has ‘almost no pain’ ꧃for first ti𒁃me this year 

• Nicolo Bulega🅷 shines again at Phillip Island test, ‘but podium is not my target’

But it was with race tyres that Iannone shone the most as he was consistently inside the top 🙈three.

“I think the day is a littl🎐e bit better compared to the past,” said Iannone. “In the end, it’s always a balance. With the soft tyres, I ride slower than with the race tyres and this is a big problem.

“Maybe I have a 🌄good race pace, but I have to start further back and it’s bad to recover a lot of posiꦿtions. We need to learn and improve in this area.

“After a long time, I think it’s a ♌good comeback. My position is not bad. I need to ൲learn this category because everything is different.

“The tyres change a lot and the bike and format. I don’t know what to🌟 expect.”

For an🐷y rookie getting the best out of qualifying tyres seems to be one of the hardest challenges in WorldSBK.

Iannone is un♋able to show the same pace in qualifying trim, and as a result believes his ra𝕴ce results could be heavily impacted.

Iannone added: “In any case, it’s really good because, after four years, I’m excꦯited because I didn’t expect to arrive at this level. I’m proud of this.

“We struggled a lot especially with the 🦋soft tyres, I ride slower 🧸than with a race tyre! This is the big problem.

“We have a Superpole Race, and in this race, we use soft tyres. In Superpole, we need to start in front. In the end, the positive thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚing is with the SC1, and in general in these tests, we are always more or less in the top three.

“We struggle a lot with soft tyre🌳s and it’s the third time we’ve had this problem. I’m a little bit worried about this. I’m surprised.

“I don’t know how to explain my pace, but I prefer it like this! Everything is natural so I’m happy. With the 𓆉race tyres, we are really close; sometimes we are the best, so🧸metimes we are top three.

“This is the most important thing. It’s important we calm down beca𝓡use th♉is is just the beginning.”
