The Ducati rider made a great start as he moved up from fifth to third by turn one, however, difficulties overtaking outside of the racing line saw the series leader make a mistake that allowed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea to come back at the Spaniard.

After failing to overtake 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Locatelli at the first attempt on lap three, Bautista eventually got the better of the Yamaha rider before doing the same to Rea a few laps🍌 later.

And although he was offered a rare chance to close in on Razgatlioglu and fight for the win when the race leader ran off track at turn eight, the pace that was set by Razgatlioglu afte♎r that was too much to handle.

When asked whether he felt he co🗹uld challenge Razgatlioglu if he managed to get away with t♐he Turkish star, Bautista said: "No! Sincerely, Toprak is in a good level and it’s true that I’m also missing some front feeling with the tyre. 

"Pirelli didn’t bring the tyre that I normally use so yesterday I str꧋uggled and today as well. We are trying to make it work but this tyre for me is more difficult. 

"I♈t doesn’t allow me to be precise and I made one miꦡstake. This is the worst track to make one mistake. Congrats to Toprak today. The maximum I could do today was second." 

Soon-to-be WorldSBK champion Bautista unhappy with conditions in Mandalika

While the level of grip was clearly beౠtter than the opening day of practice, Bautista believes the♈ racing line remains just as small, thus a costly mistake is very easy to make.

Citing 60 centimetres as the maximum width for how much grip was availabꦐle after FP2, Bautista sarcastically said ‘maybe it’s 62’ now.

Speaking after Race 1, Bautista said: "We only have 60 centimetres of asphalt. I don’t think [it will improve]. Maybe instead🍨 of 60 centimetres it will be 62. 

"The pro🔥blem is that tomorrow it will be even worse because there will be even more rubber on the good areꦺa and the difference then is even bigger. 

"This morning in Superpole I did turn five, six and seven and I just put the front [tyre] on the black line but the rear was just a bit outsiওde and I was all the time sliding. 

"It’s not easy to do a race ꧋with this condition. It’s clear that it’s for every✃body but for me, this weekend is very tough. Patient, tried to get the maximum and that’s what I did."
