Two-time WorldSBK champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista was only ninth fastest on the second and final day o🍒f testing at Cremona.

Hꦯowever, the test was about much more than lap times 🦩as the factory Ducati rider was able to find a more consistent feeling with the Panigale V4 R.

New to the Spaniard, Cremona offered the first chance for man𝔉y riders to complete their first laps at the Italian circuit, which will debut in the Superbike championship later this season.

And ꩵspeaking about the circuit, Bautista said: “It was good to discover a new track and we d🔯id many laps after a long time from the last race. It was a good day for us to get the feeling with the bike again.

“It is always nice 💦because it has been a long time since the last race. It was important and good to study a new track for me because then I can focus on myself and not work on too many things with the bike.

“At the end, today we didn’t makeꦺ big changes, just made laps to work on the feeling and get a reference. For ne♔xt week’s test it was nice to start like this.”

Up next is a test at Mi༒san⛦o before riders head there for the fourth round of the championship.

Bautista completed the treble at Misano last season, while in 2022 he won two out of the three races as only Toprak Razgatlioglu g﷽ot the better of the former MotoGP rider.

Hoping to do 🀅the same next time out, Bautiꦚsta admitted he is feeling more comfortable following the Cremona test.

“It is coming. I’m quite happy with the feel🍬ing with the bike,” began Bautista. “In a new track you never know w꧅here the reference for a lap time is or where the limit is, but my first impression on the bike has been good.

“I’m looking forward to the next test in Misano to confirm this feeling and if the perꦏformance is high it is better.”

Another Ducati rider who came away very pleased was Sam Lowes🧔, who topped day-one of the Cremona test.

Lowes said: “It was great to get a first experience of thﷺe Cremona track on a WorldSBK machine and this test also gave us the opportunity to work on a few set-up options that will improve our package in the next races.

“I enjoyed the track a lot more than I was exp🅷ecting, and I want to thank the team for aꦕll their hard work.

“We are not juꦕst resting in this period off, and we had some new parts to 🏅try to make me feel comfortable.

“One key area of working was modifying my position on the bike, and I feel in that area we made some ver🌸y positive steps.

“My pace has been strong from the first exit here and we never focused on an outright fast lap, so I feel stronꦯg and confid🌠ent that when we return here later in the season I can be very competitive.

“Now we’ll resꦉt for a few days before getting back out on tr🐷ack next week in Misano. That is a track I love and I’m excited to try a superbike for the first time there.”
