Factory Ducati rider Nicolo Bulega enters this weekend’s WorldSBK Portuguese Round off the back of a triple victory in Australia just over a month ago, but with clear ideas about where his biggest challenge is likely to c🦹ome from at the first European race of 2025.

The current 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike championship leader crashed at a ꦇrecen🌟t test in Portimao, but was unconcerned by its consequences.

“I feel good,”ꦚ Bulega said, speaking to WorldSBK.com ahead of th𒁏is weekend’s Portuguese Round.

“We did a test some days ago in Portimao, i✃t was not so nice but not so bad. So, we have to improve for sure.

“I did also a high-speed crash but I’m good so no problem for 🍸this and I will try to improve during the weekend.”

He added: “The te🔯st was bad also for the weather conditions because we were not able to make a plan and follow it for all the test because the𒈔 weather was quite strange.

“But, fortunately, for this weekend I see the weather🤡 and it looks much better, so I hope to have a nice weekend and try to improve every session.”

The Italian was clear about the rider he expects to be the reference this weekend, after Toprak Razgatlioglu topped the test tw🃏o weeks ago.

“I think Toprak [Razgatlioglu] wi𝓡ll be very good because I think this is his favourite track and also last year he was very 🥂strong here in Portimao,” the Italian said.

“During the test he 🔯was the man to beat and for sure🍒 we have to look at him here.

“But I want to say that🐷 in the test I was not able to push at 100 per cent. Here, I think we can start with a bit of data fro𝔉m the test and I think we can improve a lot.”
