Andrea Iannone was in top form during the second da💎y of WorldSBK testing in Catalunya, finishing fourth fastest.

After a quiet day-one to the test, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Iannone showed similar form to the WorldSBK season-opener in Phillip Island as he ran inside🌸 the top five for large parts of the day.
Iannone, who made a roaring𓃲 return to racing following a four-year ban, was four ten𝓡ths off Nicolo Bulega’s top time.

Bulega narrowly edged out Toprak Razgatlioglu thღanks to a new unofficial lap record, while Iannone was just behind Danilo Petrucci who got the better of him for P3 in Race 2 at Phillip Island.
Speaking after the test, Iannone said: “The goal is always similar, I’m a rookie here and it’s just the beginning🐠.
“Everyday I learn somethingღ, tyres, setup, electronics… Every test and every day is much better for me, because I started very far.
“Everyone here have been riding non-stop for 20 years, I stopped four yea🎉rs, and it𝔉’s not easy to recover. But I’m happy.
“We have a good potential, but the race is always the 🍌race. Generally, in the test I struggle more than in the race, but we will see.”
Also on circuit for Ducati was their MotoGP test rider Michele Pirro, who was busy testing ‘differen🌠t solutions’ for factory riders Bulega and Alvaro Bautista.
Also showing very good speed on day-two, Pirro admitted he would like to get his hands on the Panigale V4 R more often, evꦬen in the form of ra🍷cing as a wildcard as the Italian might not be able to do so in MotoGP this season.
Pirro said: “It’s after a long time that I come back to WorldSBK, ಞin fact, five years! It was a good impression because I used the Panigale V♌4 R and Pirellis.
“I got data to try and help Alvaro and others but𒆙 also to develop the bike for the future. The other manufacturers push very hard and the level i💯s very high.
“I tried different solutions for the weight of Alvaro, engine parts and the balance of the biౠke. I wasn’t so far away from the fast riders, so I’m happy with the first test with a Superbike after a🔥 while.
“I hope I continue with Superbike, maybe another test, p🐷erhaps at M𝕴isano. Maybe I want to come back for some races but we’ll see!
“I enjoyed it and we’ll check with Ducati! I enjoyed it with 🍃the other riders too; maybe this year, it’s not possible for me to do a wildcard in MotoGP and I hope to🌱 come to WorldSBK once or twice.
“I see Nicolo very well; he’s riding well,🤪 a good guy and fast. It’s very impressive, also the other꧙ riders but Nicolo is a good talent and a very good rider.”
