Bautista was fifth, 0.820s behind his team-ma🤡te, and says he is still “searching for my confidence” going into Saturday’s🌳 qualifying and racing.

“I think🥀 it has been positive, the start of the weekend, because I felt quite good on the bike,” he told WorldSBK.comꦉ.

“It’s sure that we worked in the test, so the base set-up♕ was clear. So theꩲ feeling with the bike was good.

“Today I can be just concentrated on getting thosꦺe small details riding the bike that allow you to enjoy and force it more and🐲 more.

“I’m really happy, especially in the morning I started free practice one very good. So, suddenl꧑y I had a good feeling with the bike.

“In the afternoon with more tem🎶perature on track, because in the test we didn’t try this situation, we struggled a little bit with the re🎐ar grip, especially on maximum angle.

“And also there was some places that the wind changed a little bit and I﷽ felt some more difficulties, especially in the last sector I was losing a lo🙈t.

“Basically t♚he rest of the lap I felt quite strong, but the last two corners I didn’t feeꦡl so good.

“But in any case the pace was not too bad. Ok, maybe Nicolo is two steps ahead of the rest, but I felt good on the bike. So, the important thing is to just get more and more co🌳nfidence.

“I think we are in a different situation. For sure, he’s in his best performance and he feels very good on the bike and he feels a lot of coꩲnf💧idence.

“He’s very strong, ෴especially in this kin𒈔d of track. I think he’s a step ahead of everybody, so it’s stupid to think to be with him.

“But my situation is a different way. I’m searching for my confidence, I’m searching for my top level🦩 that I’ജm on the way.

“I’m not 100% on my highest per💙formance but we are arriving step by step. As I say, we start to feel some feelings on the bike that for a long time I don’t feel. So, that was positive.”

Bautista had a small tip-off at Turn 4 during practice on Friday, but called it the “classic” Phillip Island crash and walked away🧸 unscathed.

“Today I had a small crash at Turn 4, but no consequences because it was a classic crash in that ꦿcorner: you arrive and in the maximum angle you lose the front,” he explained.

“But I can say that overall I am happy. It was a classic crash in Turn 📖4 here, no problems.”
