Bautista recently tested the factory Ducati MotoGP bike during a two-day test at Misano, and after impressing the li💝kes of Ducati Corse General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna, a second outing in the form of a test of wildcard has not been ruled out for the WorldSBK star.

But before that, Bautista is back in WorldSBK action this weekend as he attempts to cont🔯inue his near-perfect start to the 2023 campaign.

• Kawasaki retain Alex Lowes ܫfor 2024 WorldSBK season 
• Redding hoping to put on a show at Doning😼ton Park before deciding his ꦅfuture 

14 wins out of 15 makes him the clear f🦹avouri🉐te to dominate again at Donington Park, however, the British circuit is the only venue on the calendar that he’s not won at.

"We arrive at Donington Park and maybe it’s been a difficult race for us in the past," began Bautista. "Every year is different, and anything can happen. I’m looking forward to t🍸hisꦺ weekend. 

"The track has been resurfaced; the la🔴yout is amazing; it’s one of the best tracks in the world. From my first time here 20 years ago, I loved it. 

"It’s a track that with Ducati, I’ve never enjoyed as othersඣ, I look forward to trying to ha🌺ve a good feeling that we had in the first rounds of the season."

Should Bautista complete a fourth consecutive hat-trick (fifth of the season) should it happen, then it will be the biggest statement he🎉's made all season given previous results at Donington Park.

The good thing for Bautistꦓa is that he can afford to lose points t💞o Toprak Razgatlioglu as he leads the Yamaha rider by 86 points.

Regarding his MotoGP test and possible plans going forward to test the bike again, Bautista added: "The test was two days with a lot of fun on the bike. I had really good feedback and I could adapt very quickly to a MotoGP style with the engine, the power, the brakes, the tyres and the frames; they’re 🌱very different to WorldSBK. 

"The feeling with bike was really go꧟od. At the 🔜moment, there is no plan for the future. I’ve requested that Ducati change some items on the bike specifically for my ergonomics because I felt the bike was a bit big for me. 

"I don’t know if Ducati made this change, but maybe we can re-test and try again to see ꦅIf I can feel e💧ven better."
