Nicolo Bulega lost out on top spot during the WorldSBK test at Portimao, as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu finished less than a tenth clear.

Bulega, who had topped day one and both days at Jerez, has ♐been the star of testing so far but admitted his stunning pace is only the beginning. 

The Supe🌳rsport champion does not feel a👍t 100% yet, despite being fast over one lap and race distance.

“It was a very good day; my feeling with the bike is nice,” began Bulega when speaking to WorldSBK.com. “Obviously, I need to adapt as I’m not at 100% but it’s normal. We’re♑ working very well all together.

“I’ll go to Australia with good positivity. The lap was with the SCQ but with the SCX, I waജs very fast so apart from lap times – which are important but not a lot – I am happy because my race pace was good.”

With🔯 Alvaro Bautista nursing pain anꦐd on a different testing program, Bulega has been their challenger at the top of the timingsheets.

But Bulega feels more is yet to come afte♔r admitting he still has margin to improve.

The Italian said: “I think it has been very good; we started at Jerez with a ܫnormal feeling but every day, my feeling was getting better, so this is very important and I think we have some margin.

“We’ll try to be more ready in Australia. It’s a little bit better than expected. I 🧸don’t have a lot of things to do; more time on the bik🌸e, do more laps and understand the bike better with worn tyres and low fuel.

“I am excited and lookin🅰g f♑orward to Australia with this amazing bike, as Phillip Island is my favourite circuit.”
