168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Iannone recovered from a scoreless Race 1 and Superpole Race to finish the Assen WorldSBK weekend off with a P4 in Race 2.

A mistake in Race 1 resulted in Iannone highsiding in wet conditions, before🍌 sliding down the field after ‘destroying’ his tyres on the opening lap of the ten-lap Superpole Race.

Iannone ﷺsaid: “It was a really strange weekend because the weather was crazy! In any case, we tried our best. 🐭;

“On Saturday, we made a mistake unfortunately because we had really good potential. I th𓆉ought we were better than Sunday.

“Saturday was important for Sunday because we learnt. I think we closed the round in a good way with a good 🍒feeling.

“In the Superpole 𓆉Race, I destroyed the tyres immed𒅌iately on the first lap, so in the second race we finished well and fought for the podium and victory.

“We are🌱 competing with the factory teams, this is g🐭ood. We achieved a great result.”

But despite being competitive, Ian♔none wants to turn his pot🔯ential into victories as he looks to secure a factory seat in 2025.

Sixth in the world championship, Iannone has b𒀰een fast at every round although he’s yet to put together a ‘💝clean’ run of results.

Speaking after Race🌼 2, Iannone added: “My feeling was good, als🙈o on Saturday, with the half and half conditions, so the feeling with the bike is really good.

“Sometimes we feel a bit more inexperienced because we don’t have🍃 data like everybody, it’s my first year in WorldSBK and everything is new.

“We’re learning every day. We wa♌nt and need to try to fight for victories. In the end, it’s im꧒portant we always remember that this is my first year.”

Another satellite Ducati rookie who impressed in Race 2 was Sam Lowꦺes, with the Marc VDS rider claiming 🔴P6.

Seventh in the Superpole Race, Lowes was🦋 battling amongst the lead group 🉐during both races, in both dry and damp conditions.

“Today has been very positive because we scored strong results in challenging conditions and collected some decent points for ﷽the championship,” said Lowes.

“It fe🤡lt a good way to quickly the forget the disappointment of yesterday when the conditions were really tricky. 

“This afternoon I was th🎃e only rider to go with the new Pirelli SC🎉X rear tyre and I think it was the correct choice. 

“I’m ha🧜ppy with how I managed the race because I took my time at the beginning and paced myself so I could be fast and competitive at t🍒he end. 

“In Barcelona, I was very fast at t🐓he beginning but lost pace towards the end and dropped back, but it was clear today that I paced myself a lot better and that shows we are all learning from experience.

“This weekend wasn’t easy with such limited dry track time but ag𓂃ain it was another very important learning experience for me and the team.

“We can take away a lot of positives and my first top six shows we are making the progress we want.🍷 I qualified fourth, felt strong in the full wet conditions and was competitive in the dry, so I want to say a big thanks to the team for their great work all weekend.

“We have a break now until the next round in Misano, but we will be out testing🎉 and trying to improve my feeling on the bike.”
