Pata Yamaha WorldSBK rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Locatelli declared himself “quite happy” with his performance෴ in Friday practice at the Dutch WorldSBK, and believes he can finish on the podium this weekend.

Assen is the circuit where Locatelli first finished on the podium in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike back in his debut season, 2021, and he came to the Netherlands this weekend off ๊the back of his first podi⭕um of the season at the Portuguese Round two weeks ago.

Also – theoretically at least – playing into his and Yamaha’s favour this weౠekend is the 💖fuel flow reductions imposed on Ducati and BMW as a result of their respective performances in the opening two rounds.

Although it was Ducati’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicolo Bulega who looked strongest on Friday, Locat𝓡elli and Yamaha still showedℱ strong potential from Friday morning in Assen.

🌌“Basically, we started in a good point this morning with the bike,” Locatelli told WorldSBK.com a༒fter FP2 on Friday in Assen.

“I was quite confident and after a good FP1 we made a small change꧟ on the bike because we didn’t try 💝using a soft [compound] tyre during [FP1] and today it was important for us to understand, especially for [Saturday] in the race if it’s possible to use the soft compound.

“It looks like [it’s possi🍸ble], so we made an improvement today during FP2 and I’m quite happy with t🌃he bike.”

The improvements meant Locatelli was confident of being able to fight for the podium, although he stressed the importance of achievi♚ng it in Race 1.

“I feel like we can make another st🔯ep forward, we will try to work on all t☂he details tonight and I hope that [in Race 1] we can fight for the podium 100 per cent,” he said.

“For sure, we need to improve a bit but I’m quite 🍎confident to be there [o💖n Saturday].

“We need to try immediately to do it because it’s Race 1 [...] whic🌄h is always a bit more tricky for everyone.

“We have a good potential and we need to t♈ry [to finish on theꦅ podium in Race 1] because for sure then Sunday is coming a bit difficult.”
