Not only was Sunday’s double win enough to see him clai🍸m a second hat-trick in just three rounds so far in 2023, but the Spaniard also wrapped up Ducati’s 400th victory in the class.

A race track that had s🔯o often been dominated by Rea and Kawasaki, Bautista’s treble at Assen served as another reminder that the 2022 season was not an indicat꧋ion of his maximum potential, but instead what was to come on an even more consistent basis. 

Bautista is alreadꦰy over 100 points clear of Rea, while also holding an advantage of 56 over his closest challenger, which is Razgatlioglu.

Speaking aboꦿut his stunning achievement, Bautista said: "It’s a fantastic fe𝓀eling. It is an incredible milestone for Ducati to achieve 400 victories. On my side, I’m happy but more than the results, my feeling with the bike is amazing. 

"Yesterday, I felt good but with some problems in the race that maybe you could not see because I won. I know when I can go faster or when ♕I can have a better feeling or wꦓhen not. 

"Today we changed the set-up of the bike and already in the morning I felt much better. In t🌠he 𝔉Superpole race I pushed harder and harder and I saw the limit of the bike was further than yesterday. 

"I was able to go really fast in the Superpol💙e Race and in Race 2 I was able to be more precise with my riding."

Bautista has beꦜen making most of the difference during the middle and latter part of raceꦑs, as tyre conservation has been one of his biggest strengths over the last two seasons.

However, Bautista did admit that his current form is the best he can do, although it remains plenඣty good enough based on his results. 

"In the end, I could have a good pace, push to my limit, the𒅌 limit of the bike and I’m happy because I did that," added Bautista. 

"This is the ‘maximum of Bautista’. If there are other riders than can go faster; believe me I can’t. It has been a perfect weekend for us.💃"
