Nicolo Bulega’s only blemish on the final day of WorldSBK testing in Barcelona was a small tip-off at turn one prior to taking over top spot from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Danilo Petrucci.

The Race 1 winner at Phillip Island continued to show stunning pace through💟out the second day of testing, ending with a new lap record.

• Alex Lowes hits the deck t൲wice but claims ‘my p🐎ace is good, happier after the test’ 

• Danilo Pet🍸rucci crashes but rebounds with P3 finish: ‘I think we’re in good sh꧂ape’

Again quicker than two-time world champion Alvaro Bautista, Bulega was a consistent presence inside the top three as he battled 🉐Petrucci and Jonathan Rea.

Speaking after setting his new lap record, Bulega said: “I tried for the 1’39 but in the afternoon, after lunch, 🐬the track condition was worse with more humidity; I think it was more difficult.

“I don’t feel pressure; it gives me a lot of motivation and makes me proud. It’s important to me because when you’re🦄 fast,⛎ you understand that we’re working in a good direction with my team.

“Alvaro [Bautista] here is very, very fast; las🦩t year, he was incredible! If I can try to stay in front of him, it can b🧸e an incredible result for me.

“Normally, when you have a strong tea⭕mmate, it’s always good for the other one. It’s good to have Alvaro, he’s a motivation and your teammate is always the first o𝓰ne you want to beat for everybody.

“You have the same bike, team and for sure, if I can st⭕ay in front of him or him in front of me, it’s a good motivation.”

On the other side of the factory Ducati gara𒀰ge, Bautista struggled to generate the same pace and feeling as𝔉 day-one.

“Already in the morning it felt more difficult than yesterday,” began Bautista. “Less grip in the tyres and I had this feeling all day. The feeling with the bike was not v🙈ery good today.

“Physically I am back but yesterday I improved my feeling during the d💖ay, but today I started worse than yesterday and I never recovered the good feeling🃏.

“I don’t know if it was track conditions 𒆙but today I was not able to have a good feeling.”

Pushed further on what was causing him the big🔯gest problem, Bautista sai♉d turning and generating punch off the corners.

Bautista added: “It was especially turning. I struggled a lot on the gas and I had to make a lot of force with the b🔯ike. The grip on the rear was not too high and was spinning. The bike never caught and went forward.

“The rear didn’t help me turn the corners so I 𓄧struggled a lot. One thing is the test and another is the race weekeꦬnd.

“For sure, in the test last season I felt much better and the pace was much stronger. But this year it is different and we have to work 🍨and try to understand why I had this feeling.”
