Bautista was fifth, 0.820s behind his team-mate, and 𓆉says he is still “searching for my confidence” going into Saturday’s qualifying and racing.

“I think i🍌t has been positive, the start of the weekend, because I💛 felt quite good on the bike,” he told WorldSBK.com.

“It’s sure that we worked in the test, s💖o the b💯ase set-up was clear. So the feeling with the bike was good.

“Today I can be just concentrated on getting those small details riding the bike꧑ that allow you to enjoy and force it more and more.

“I’m really happy, especially in the morning I started free practice one very good. So, suddenly I had a good feeling ꦑwith the bike♔.

🐬“In the afternoon with more temperature on track, because in the test we didn’t try this situation, we struggled a little bit with the rear grip, especially on maximum angle.

“And also there was some places that the wind changed a little bit and I felt some more difficulties, especially in the last sector I was losꦦing a lot.

“Basic𝓀ally the rest of the lap I felt quite strong, but the last two corners I didn’t feel so good.

“But in any case the pace was not too bad. Ok, maybe Nicolo is two steps ahead of the rest, but I felt good on the bike. So, the important thing is to just g❀et more and more confidence.

“I think we are꧙ in a different situati♎on. For sure, he’s in his best performance and he feels very good on the bike and he feels a lot of confidence.

“He’s very strong, especially in this kind of track. I think he’s a step ahead of everybody, so it’s stupid to t💮hink to be with him.

“But ♈my situation is a different way. I’m searching for myꦑ confidence, I’m searching for my top level that I’m on the way.

“I’m not 100% on my highest performance but ✤we are arriving step by step. As I say, we start to🐲 feel some feelings on the bike that for a long time I don’t feel. So, that was positive.”

Bautista ha🥀d a small tip-off at Turn 4 during 𝔍practice on Friday, but called it the “classic” Phillip Island crash and walked away unscathed.

“Today I had a small crash at Turn 4, but no consequences because it was a classic crash in that corner: you arrive and in the maximum a🍌ngle you lose the front,” he explained.

“But I🃏 can say ඣthat overall I am happy. It was a classic crash in Turn 4 here, no problems.”
