Alvaro Bautista hits back over rainbow hair comments
Alvaro Bautista has responded to comments 🉐made over his haircut at this weekend’s Portimao WorldSBK round.

Aruba.it Racing Ducati rider Alvaro Bautista is not averse to a ch🌱ange in hairstyle, even just last year in Aragon he showed up with it dyed purple, but the Spaniard’s latesꦆt switch up has caused some social media discourse.
The two-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion showed up to this weekend’s Portuguese Round with a rainbow dyed into the back of his hair. It’s a pattern that is connected to the LGBT commu📖nity, whether Bautista meant it in t♉hat way or not, and therefore one that, even in 2025, can generate a degree of backlash.
Indeed, that is what happened when photos of Bautista’s new haircut were p🌳osted on social🎃 media.
The Spaniard said on Friday that the comments are something he tries to avoid, and added that the rainbow colours were something he 𓂃did for his 🐠daughter – as was the case with the aforementioned purple dye in Aragon.
“The comments in the social network I try to not read because you cannot seಞe the peopl🐷e who say that so maybe it’s not true, the people it’s easy to speak without [them] looking at your face,” Bautista said on Friday in Portimao, .
“For me it doesn’t matter a🀅ll the comm♕ents that people make in the social network.
“The fa🐽ct is I did this because I felt funny from my daughter, they enjoyed a lot🉐.
“I’m not responsible for how people can🌃 think and comment. 🦋That’s a them problem, I do this because I like that’s all.”
Bautista ended Friday afternoon’s FP2 session in Portimao fifth-fastest on the timesheets. His factory Duc🌃ati teammate, Nicolo Bulega, was second-fast🐬est, while reigning champion Toprak Razgatlioglu ended fastest overall.
