• Andrea Iannone ‘has retained MotoGP style, is w♚ell suited to the Panigale’ 
• Iker Lecuona ‘expects a host of riders to ﷽be quick’ in Catalunya

Challenges with the new minimum rider/bike we🌳ight limit 🅘rule have played a big factor in Bautista’s slow start to 2024.

But Bautista’s former team-mate Chaz Davies is expecting the Spaniard to show his b꧟est form going forward.

Asked about the differences in Bautista from when they lined-up together in 2♎019 to now, Davies told : “He’s changed a lot since then. He decided to cha🤪nge direction after two difficult years at Honda, which probably allowed him to a little the limit of the Pirelli tyres.

“He tried to push the package he had to the limit and get the best possible resuꦗlts, but the one between him and Aruba Ducati is truly a great combination▨.

“Alvaro is incr♏edibly tale🤪nted and makes a fantastic pairing with the Panigale V4 R, which I think manages to bring out all of his strengths.

“People like to talk about the bike and now there is a♎lso the new rule w༒hich is essentially made for Alvaro.

“But in the end he is the only rider who♍ manages to get all the potential from the package and he has done so consistently in recent years. We have to give him credit for that.”

Once a rival to Bautista, Davies is now a rider coach for the two-time world champion 𒐪and team-mate Nicolo Bulega.

Another🦹 rider that was a rival to Davies’ throughout his time in WorldSBK was Jonathan Rea, who endured one of his worst weekends ever in the cha🥃mpionship at Phillip Island. 

Discussing Rea’s nightmare season-opener, Davies was left v🉐ery surprised: “Considering the level I never imagined that Phillip 💛Island could be such a disaster.

“I🅠t wꦕas a really tough round and I was sad to see him crash, but luckily he was okay.

“Johnny𒀰 seemed to be doing well in the tests and even though he didn’t do anything special, he was in the topꦡ five.

“He probably still has to bond with thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe Yamaha because the Phillip Island weekendও was a really difficult one.”
