Nicolo Bulega lost out on top spot during the WorldSBK test at Portimao, as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu finished less than a tenth clear.

Bulega, who had topped day one and both days at Jerez, has been the star of testing so far💟 but admitted his stunning pace is only the 🌃beginning. 

The Supersport champion doe🔯s not feel at 100% yet, despite being fast over one lap and race distance.

“It was a very good day; my feeling with the bike is nice,” began Bulega when speaking to WorldSBK.com. “Obviously, I need to adapt as I’m not at 100% but it’s ꦉnormal. We’re working very well all together.

“I’ll go to Australia with good positivity. The lap was with the SCQ but with the SCX, I was very fast so apart from lap time♎s – which are important but not a lot – I am happy because my race pace was good.”

With Alvaro Bautista nursing pain and on a different testing program, Bulega has been their challenger at🍰 the top of the timingsheets.

But Bulega f🔥eels more is yet to come aft✤er admitting he still has margin to improve.

The Italian said: “I think it has been very good; we started at Jer꧒ez with a normal feeling but every day, my feeling was getting better, so this is very important and I think we have some marg🦂in.

“We’ll try to be more ready in Australia. It’s a little bit better than expected. I don’t have a lot of things to do; more time on the bike, do more laps and understand the bike be🔥tter with worn tyres and low fuel.

“I am exci⛄ted and looking forward to Australia with this amazing bike, as Phillip Island is my favourite circuit.”
