168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista was in the mix for victory at the Misano WorldSBK round in Race 1, before losing touch with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu, and then team-mate Nicolo Bulega.

Bautista had to settle for third spot after admitting he nearly crashed ‘10 or 12 times’, thr𓆉oughout the race.

Speaking after the race, a disappoi🐬nted Bautista said: “Conditions are diff🌠erent every year and the level of the category is really high. We worked to get a good feeling with the bike but it’s still not as we wanted.

“Today, with the really hot conditions, I struggled to stop the bike esp💧ecially on the front tyre.

“In the first few laps, I couldn’t push really hard because every time I tried to force the front, I lost it, and I haဣd many slides in a lot of corners. It was really🌟 difficult.

“The only thing 𝔍I could do was try to get 🔴to the end and get the maximum I can. 

“After m💫id-race, the pace was similar to the leader and the guys in front, but the problem was I was 🌠over the limit.

“I tried to push more, lost the front and I nearly cras⛄hed 10 or 12 times! The only thing was to finish the race, try to get more inform꧒ation and some references.”

Bulega rues bad start

Had he not been stuck behind Bautista and Remy Gardner once Razgatlioglu took the lead, Bulega could have challenged the BMW rider as hi💜s pace was very similar until the end of the race.

But Bulega, who ꦆfelt like he could go with Razgatlioglu, believes he got into second spot too 🍷late to have a chance.

“Unfortunately, my start was not so good and then I had to overtake some riders, so I lost a lot of tꩲimeꦐ,” added Bulega. 

“When I overtook the other riders and I got into 𒐪second, my pace was goodꦜ. I also had a little bit of belief that I could overtake Toprak, but it was too late.

“He never gave up. He had a fantastic r♊ace. It’s my first race in Italy in WorldSBK, with a podium and almost pole position this morning, so if the weekend is going well.

“In the beginning, I lost a lot of t🐼ime. I was much faster, but it was impossible to overtake. You can never know how the race will go.”
