Alex Lowes: “I’m probably a bit too🎶 old to be making moves like that"
However, as he💦 ran wide, Locatelli swiftly applied the gas only to highside over the top of his R1.
A clear opp🍌ortunity for his first WorldSBK win missed, Locatelli said: “I’m fine. The feeling was amazing in Race 2. I think, during this weekend, we did a really good job and never made mistakes.
“Unfortunately, we checked the data, and we don’t know why, but the bike was in neutral. I was wide and then I tried to put the gas onඣ again, I made a mistake and lost the rear.
“The first problem was the entry to the corner, sಞo this was a big shame because everything was working well.
“It was the last lap, and we were fighting for the win. Looks like we⛦ were living a dream but not a good one!”
While Locatelli threw away the chance of winning his first Superbike race, the Itꦓalian dominated new team-mate Jonathan Rea.
The six-time world champion also crashed out of t💝he race when running in 𝔍tenth spot on lap three.
Potentially Yamaha’s be🍸st bet of winning races going forward, Locatelli knows how high his ceiling is and is eager to prove he can achieve big results.
Locatelli added: “Sunday would’ve been🌼 an unbelievable day if we finished the race! We a𝔉re stronger, we showed our potential.
“We were 💦always at the front from testing, free practices, a👍nd all sessions. This is the best thing for us.
“I’d al🌟ways like to forget when somethinꩲg happens, like last year at Aragon, and we need to forget Race 2.
“We were able to win the race, but this happened. We need to be positive, look forward and I can’t wait to get back on track because finishing🌸 four days of riding with a crash is not the best.”
