Two-time 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike Champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista had his Czech WorldSBK Race 2 ended at the first corner when he made contact with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea; without tha🔜t, the Spaniard reckons he could 🐷have fought for the podium.

Bautista and Rea’s collision at the first turn of the final race of the weekend left the Spaniard on the floor and Rea – who said afterwards that he thinks the co🀅ntact was a “racing accide𓄧nt” – with a double long lap penalty, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Xavi Vierge will undergo assessments in Spain today (Monday 19 May) on a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:suspected right foot fracture.

For Bautista, the crash meant a mis꧅sed opportunity to fight for what would have been his first podium of the weekend having finished fifth in Race 1 and the Superpole Race from 10th on the gridও.

“You have to k🌟eep the positive, and for sure we are working to arrive at a good performance [level] and reduce the gap with the front,” he told WorldSBK.com.

“ꦦWe are quite strong, compared to our best moments, but also the level of the category is a bit higher [than in the past]: more riders fighting for the front, also lap times are faster, and for sure we are not in the same condition about the bike.

“But, in♚ any case, we are workin♔g really hard, that’s our target.

“I think [in Race 2], again, we were able to fight for the podium at least, but we will try to keep workin❀g ahead and try to continue this tendency.”

Bautista’s late Superpole Race speed ꦉwas strong, too, as he went from seventh to fifth in the final few laps, but ultimately he was frustrated to not have been able to benefit from his second-row starting positi💃on for Race 2.

“In the Superpole Race I did a good st💯art, I didn’t have any problems in the firs🅷t chicane,” Bautista said.

“Just I went long in the second lap and I lost some gap; I think without the mistake I could battlꦜe for the podium.

“In any case, we gained a lot of positions for Race 2, it 🐲was good. But, at the end, it doesn’t matter the position you start, I always find some problems in the first chicane.”
