168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Locatelli had a chance to win Race 2 - would have been his maiden WorldSBK win had he pulled it♍ off - before crashಞing out of contention on the final lap.

Much quicker than team-mate Jonathan Rea throughout the weekend, Locatelli signalled his intent as 🌱he looks to lead Yamaha’s chꦏallenge.

And Andrea Dosoli believes the Italian can be a cꦏontender after seeing a new approach from his r꧂ider.

“It was clear to see that Andrea Locatelli made a big step,” began Dosoli. “Not only was this clear frಞom his performance, but for me the biggest thing was his approach to the weekend.

“Before heading to Phillip Island, And🐻rea and his crew chief Tom O’Kane had a very clear target in mind – they wanted to win a race, and their performance on track shows they can achieve this. 

“I think we can say that this weekend Andrea has shown a new level of maturity as throughout the weඣekend he displayed a winning mentality; he is thinking like a winner.

“This is a combination of the steps he has taken himself, but 🧸also what he 💜has learned from his new crew chief so I would like to congratulate both Andrea and his crew for this.

“It is 😼just a matter of time before his first WorldSBK w🦹in now.”

Although Locatelli came away from🌱 the season-opener winless, Locatelli’s pace during all three races was very🍷 impressive.

Locatelli was arguably the q༒uickest rider during both Sunday races, which bodes well for the Yamaha man as he demonstrated stunning speed in two types of races.

Pointing out his rider’s potential, Dosoli said: “In both the 🍌Superpole Race and Race 2 he was the quickest rider on the track making an impressive series😼 of overtakes. 

“It was only the unlucky false neutral on the last lapꦇ which prevented him winning in Race 2, I am 100% convinced he deserved the win in that race.&nbs💧p;

“Of course he is disappointed with the result of the last race, but these things happen in racing – the most important thing is he showed his potential to fight at the front. Locatelli can be a title ⛎contender this season.”
