168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista finished the opening day of WorldSBK testing in Misano third, as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu ended fastest for BMW.

﷽A new unofficial lap record was set by th♛e BMW rider, but it was Bautista who led for much of the day.

What was a positive day in terms of lap time was not entirely the case when it came༺ to the two-time Superbike champion’s feelinℱg on the bike.

Many setups were tr💞ied by Bautista and Ducati, with the Spaniard confirming that their weaknesses came to the fore.

Speaking after the opening day, Bautista said: “I’m happy because we did som💧e tests that we wanted to do here. One of them was with enginಞe behaviour.

“From this year, I didn’t feel th🐼e same as last year with the management of the gas, traction or the force I put on the tyres; for me, it’s som🔜ething different from last year.

“In the wint꧒er tests, we couldn’t try as I wasn’t at my best. In the first few rounds, we were more focused on setup.

“Here, we had the chance to try. Fortunately, I was correct in my feeling, and we found we needed to work in this 𓄧area, especially the first part of the throttle.

“For me, it🀅 felt like too much power and more than l♐ast year; technically, it was similar but here we adjusted the electronics, and I improved my feeling and the way I can ride the bike.

“We tried different setups on the bike, 🌠but it didn’t work; in fact, I crashed at the last corner. We were trying a bit of an extreme setup.

“I tried to force it and find the limit, and I found the limit very quickly. But I’m happy because we tested and we saw b𓆉asically all o💎ur weak points and not good points.

“In that area it is good to know that. In general I’m hap♔py with the feeling I found.”

Nicolo Bulega still searching for early form

Second fa✱stest and less than a tenth down on Razgatliogౠlu was the impressive Superbike rookie.

But Bulega c༺onfirmed he still doesn’t feel as good as the early stages of this🐻 season.

Bulega added: “I’m happy but we have toꦐ work because my feeꦆling is still not at 100% like at the beginning of the season.

“Step by step, I’m getting better. The feeling at Cremo♛na wasn’t so good but here, today, we improved a lot.

“We got almost to my ♓100%. I think we still have to work because I’m not there yet, and I’d like to do something different on my bike w𝓡hen I’m riding.

“I don’t have the perf﷽ect feeling at the front and I’m still missing something when I’m releas♔ing the brake with angle.”
