Bautista and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Ruben Rinaldi will take part in🙈 their second WorldSBK season together as teammates, however, this time it will be aboard a brand new Panigale V4 𒅌R.

After winning his maiden WorldSBK title in 2022 - Ducati’s first since Carlos Checa in 2011 - Bautista is of course an immediate favourite to repeat as champion and achieve something 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu could not after winning his first title the season before.&💯nbsp;

Ho🎃wever, much will depend on if the new bike is a step forward over the 2019 model that, t🧸hrough several years of upgrading and development, became the best bike on the grid last year. 

After missing out on the 2019 title despite winning th🐓e first 11 races, Bautista proved unbreakable throughout his title winning campaiꦫgn.

Winner of 16൩ races, Bautista took victories at every round except Doningt🧜on Park and Mandalika. 

Mistakes were far and few betwe🍎en as a fall during Race 1 at Donington Park was the only individual error Bautista made.

Both Bautista and Rinaldi won’t have long to wai෴t until they get their hands on the new Panigale V4 R✨, as they are set to take part in this week’s two-day Jerez test. 

Also expected to be in action are all other Ducati riders, including 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Axel Bassani, second-year rider Phillip Oettl and rookie 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Danilo Petrucci.

Like 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia who also elected for the #1 plate in MotoGP, Bautista will use the number after Razgatlioglu, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Sykes and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sylvain Guintoli all donned the #1 for their title defence.
