Bautista was one of four riders to break the lap record, however, the WorldSBK champion was just as i෴mpressive when it came to race runs.

After already breaking the lap record on race tyres, the Aruba.it Ducati rider proceeded to lap within a couple of tenths off 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo’s quickest in-race MotoGP lap from last season.

A stint which lasted around 5-6 laps, Bautista was well clear of his competition before 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea eventually closed to +0.009s. 

But despite his unrelenting pace, Bautista was 🅰keen to point out that testing has little bearing on how race weekends play out.

Bautista said: "In winter tests, you can see many good lap times but, in th🌌e end, the important thing is the feeling you have with the bike. 

"We worked quite well during these two days. Today, wﷺe found a bit of improvement with rear grip, especially at maximum angle and first exit from the corner. I’m happy with that. In the end, lap times in winter tests aren’t really true. 

"We have to wait until the first race to see everybody. Depending on when you go out on track here, you find better or worse conditions. I’m happy with the feeling and the work I did with my team so♋ let’s keep going and I look forward to t𝕴he next test and the first race. 

"If you s♍ee the times, it looks like it’ll be more inte♓resting than last season so far. Let’s see. I always say, when the season starts you can see the reality of every rider."

While the level in WorldSBK already appears to be much higher than in previous seasons, the gaps between the leading contenders and the rest of the field remains substantial at this stage in pre-season te🌼sting. 

Still, Bautista is not taking anyone lightly whilst the Spaniard also confirmed that the base set-up of his new Panigale V4 R is ready for action: "F📖or me the important thing is the feeling with the bike. Everybody is fast in this test and I went one second faster t🥃han last season. 

"I’m happy because I was able to do it 𒀰and the feeling with the bike is good. We are prepared to start the season and I think the base set-up of the bike is quite good even though the bike is new. I think we worked r🙈eally well." 

Crash at turn seven a small blip for the reigning WorldSBK champion

Although Bautista was the most consistent rider in terms of race performance, as was the case in Jerez despite 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu finishing fastest on both days, Bautist𒊎a had a s꧃mall hiccup during the first session of day-two.

The former MotoGP rider crashed at turn seven whilst going for an even qꦓuicker lap than the 1:39.035s he set to top the test. 

"This morning I crashed in turn seven - it was a fast crash - maybe I found the limit in that corner and the lap time was quite fast," added ༺Bautista. "I tried to push even more and I had a crash but without physical consequence. I prefer to do it now than in the races."
