But that’s exactly what Bautista avoided doing as he went on to complete another dominant double in San Juan, while also extending his lead to 82 points in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:WorldSBK standings.
The Duca꧃ti rider, who again had an alarming pace advantage on the back-straight throughout the weekend, was able to find considerable time in the sections of track that suited Razgatlioglu’s Yamaha which was key to getting the better of the Yamaha man.

Bautista’s two wins in San Juan mean he’s on the brink of winning his fir🦩st WorldSBK title and Ducati’s first since 2011 - can be achieved next time out in Mandalika - however, Race Two was anything but comfortable for the former MotoGP rider.
"For sure today, it's been really tough in the race," said the Spaniard. "First of all, because it's the last race of the weekend, and you feel, physically, all the eౠfforts from the weekend but also because today the track was more difficult than yesterday.
"It was easier to make mistakes. I didn't start well and lost some positions. But at the same time, it was good because I let the other riders ev✨aluate the situation befꦍore me.
"Then I started t♉o understand how much I could push, and I decided to recover 🔯the positions and take the lead because I felt that I could be faster than the others. I took the lead.
"I saw Toprak was close to me. I didn't think about taking points, about the risks... just to do my best. I gave every💞thing.&nbs𒅌p;
"In the end, I could win some advantage and I could manage unti𓃲l the end. I'm so happy, t♏oday my performance was really good."
Rinaldi ‘smelled’ a podium chance before huge drop in pace

At the beginning of Race Two it appeared as though 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Ruben Rinaldi had the pace to challen𒀰ge after making a brilliant start.
The Ducati rider led after lap two thanks to a move on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea going into turn six, but after losing the lead to Bautista two laps later, the Italian was swamped by those beღhind as he dropped to fifth in an instant.
Discussing his race, Rinaldi added: "Actually, I smelled the podium and you know, going home without the trophy is not what I wanted but if you see Friday, I can be satisfied wi꧅th how we answered to a bad Friday.
"We worked h𒅌ard, we improved the bike, we improved the feeling, we impro𒁃ved the time, and we were able to lead some laps, which is not bad.
"But to fight the top three guys, you must be at your 100% 🦂everywhere. Unfortunately, with the hot conditions, I was not comfortable riding because I couldn't stop the bike the way I wanted to.
"Now we are 🌟so consistent in the race even i💜f it's not going well, so we just need a small step, but I think that it's closer than you think."
