Portimao WorldSBK: Alvaro Bautista: Ducati ‘trying to help me, in contact with Gigi Dall’Igna’ about 2023
While t🌊he Panigale V4 R appears to be the most complete package on the WorldSBK grid in 2022, that is🦹 not stopping Bautista from pushing Ducati for further improvements.
Bautista, who leads the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:WorldSBK standings by over 50 po💝ints with just three rounds to go, has been sensational fo꧑r much of the season.
However, that statement has also been true about Razgatlioglu and to some extent 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea, although the Kawasaki rider appears destined for a third place finish in the 𝕴championship.
Demonstrated once again in Portimao was the extreme pace advantage Bautista and Ducati had on the straights, however, the former MotoGP rider kno༒ws steps need to be made an༺d wants more with regards to corner exit for next season.
"I need that Yamaha don’t help Toprak!" joked Bautista before going on to provide⭕ a serious answer on what he hopes Ducati helps him with.&n♛bsp;
"We have some ideas for next year because we need more support from the bike 🌄on the exit of the cornerꦿ, as I feel the bike very light.
"We need something to help the bike on the exit of corner; if we have it more stable, we can improve ou🤪r acceler🙈ation and our performance.
"We are in conta﷽ct with Gigi, as he calls me after all the races, practices and tests, so he knows my feeling with the bike, so they’re trying to help me."
While it’s clear that Bautista’s straight-line speed has helped him at rounds sౠuch as Aragon, Estoril, Catalunya and Portimao, the Spaniard has previously taken aim at those who believe his success is largely down to the speed of th🔯e Ducati.
In fact, Bautista again highlighted it when talking about the upcoming round in Argenti✤na which is expected to suit Ducati: "Everyone says that it has a long straight , but there’s only one straight that’s big. I have won there once but I just want to feel the bike and then, we’ll know our level."
Although Bautista is keeping his cards close to his chest, team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Ruben Rinaldi feels a 1-2 is potenti🎐ally on the cards: "I🔯 think we can do a Ducati 1-2 in Argentina…"
