Nicolo Bulega’s only blemish on the final day of WorldSBK testing in Barcelona was a small tip-off at turn one prior to taking over top spot from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Danilo Petrucci.

The Race 1 winner at Phillip Island continued to show stunning pace throughout the 🗹second day of testing, ending with a new lap record🍌.

• Alex Lowes hits the deck twice but claims ‘my pace 💟is good, happier after the test’ 

• Danilo Petrucci cr♍ashes but rebounds with P3 finish: ‘I♛ think we’re in good shape’

Again quicker than two-time world champion Alvaro Bautista, Bulega was a consistent presence inside the top three as he battled Petrucci and Jonathan R༒ea.

Speaking after setting his new lap record, Bulega said: “I tried for the 1’39 but in the aftern👍oon, after lunch, the track condition was worse with more humidity; I think it was more difficult.

“I don’t feel pressure; it gives me a lot of motivation and makes me proud. It’s important to me because when you’re fast, you understand that we’re working in a good🐬 direction with my team.

“Alvaro [Bautista] here is very, very fast; last year, he was incredible! If I can try to stay in fr🐓ont of him, it can 💖be an incredible result for me.

“Normally, when you have a strong teammate, it’s always good for th🍌e other one. It’s good to have Alvaro, he’s a mo🅰tivation and your teammate is always the first one you want to beat for everybody.

“You have the same bike, team and for sure, if I can stay in front of him or him in front of me, it’s a good motiv😼ati﷽on.”

On the other side of the factory Ducati garage, Bautista struggled to generate the sa▨me pace and feeling as day-one.

“Already in the morning it felt more difficu𒅌lt than yesterday,” began Bautista. “Less grip in the tyres and I had this feeling all day. The fe🐎eling with the bike was not very good today.

“Physically I am back but yesterday I improved my feeling during the da🔜y, but today I started worse than yesterday and I never rec☂overed the good feeling.

“I don’t know if it was track conditions but today I was not able to have a good feꦉeling.”

Pushed further on what was causing him the biggest problem, Bautista said turning and generating punch off the corne🦹rs.

Bautista added: “It was especially turning. I struggled a lot on the gas and I had to make a lot of force with the bike. The grip on the rear was not too high and was spinning. The bike never caught and went 🧸forward.

“The rear didn’t help me tu☂rn the corners 🌠so I struggled a lot. One thing is the test and another is the race weekend.

“For sure, in the test last season I felt much better and the pace was much stronger. But this year it is different and we have to work and try to understand why I🌃 had this feeling.”
