Still without news on whether he will be riding for the Aruba.it Ducati team alongside team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista in 2023, Rinaldi has s🍎hifted his focus to this weekend’s French WorldSBK round which has been a tough venue for Ducati in recent years. 

The Italian manufacturer’s last win at Magny-Cours came in 2017 when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chaz Davies won race two, but with Bautista in the form of his life, there’s💮 reason to believe ꦅDucati could make a return to the top step of the podium. 

One of the riders who would like to make that a reality for Ducati is Rinaldi, as the Italian is still without a win so far this season - Rinal🐼di had two race wins at this stage last season. 

Rumours surrounding his future have been intense as Rinaldi’s factory Ducati seat has also been linked to MotoAmerica title contender 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Danilo Petrucci and fellow WorldSBK rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Axel Bassani. 

It’s al༺so the only remaining factory seat that has yet to be confirmed for the 2023 WorldSBK campaign. 

"It’s been a strange summer for me," added Rinaldi. "The goal is to just give 120% on the bike, 🍰I don’t look at the position anymore. If I give my 120% and win, I’ll be happy; if I give my 120% and I’m fifth, I’ll be happy. 

• Rea: ‘I learnt a lot from To☂prak’, Razgatlioglu not feeling ‘any pain’ 
• Quartararo seco𝔍nd on top speed with 2023 engine: ‘Super happy!’

"I don’t care💛ဣ about the result. We will update about my future after this round."

WorldSBK series leader Bautista without ‘expectation’

For Bautista, maintaining his 30-plus point lead over168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Jonathan Rea and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu could prove challenging this weekend as both riders have bri𝄹lliant records at Magny-Cours. 

Bautista also has limited experience on dry t🧔yres at the French c🎉ircuit after the 2019 round was heavily impacted by rain. 

"I approach the weekend like any other; for me, I haven’t done a lot of dry laps with the Ducati at this track three💜 years ago, so I approach the round without any expectation," said the former MotoGP rider. 

"We’ll work from Friday to try ꦐand get a good feeling with the bike, the same as I have done at the rest of the rounds, and try 🤡to be as competitive as possible and then we’ll see. 

"At Magny-Cours, the w𒈔eather can be critical as sometimes you have a lot of rain or a lot of heat. In any ca🎃se, I’ll try to be competitive and try and do my best."
