Off the podium in Race 1 at Most, but 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista was happier than at any point in the 2024 WorldSBK campaign.

Bautista suffered a three-place grid penalty due to slow-riding on the racing line in qua🦄lifying, resulting in a P10 startin🎃g slot.

However, 🀅Bautista made immediate progress before a late charge saw him move up to fourth.

Bautista, who again lost vital points to Toprak Razgatliogl🎀u, has two wins 𓃲to his resume in 2024, but Race 1 in Most was a breakthrough of sorts.

Speaking after the race, Bautista said: "We did n♕ot so bad in the Superpole but then I got penalised because I was slow on the line. Fortunately I did a good start and recovered 🅷a lot of positions. 

"T🥀he race was very tough because I never found the feeling I had in♏ practice. 

"I tried to do my best but, also, I lost a w🔯inglet in the second corner and in the first laps the bike was working in a different way from the practices, especially in the rig𒅌ht-hand corners. 

"The front wanted to close. In 🍃the first three/four laps I could not push👍 that hard and I tried to recover the feeling. 

"The bike improved a little bit and could be more consi💯stent with the lap t♏imes. 

"Then I bat🌼tled with some other riders but the maximum I could achieve today was fourth.♛ 

"We fought to our best but the feeling, as I said yesterday, improved a lot and for💦 me this was the first race for me in 2024 because I never had this feeling before."

One of Bautista's🦄 main battles in Race 1 was with Yamaha's Remy Gardner.

The pair exchanged positions more than nine times in the opening laps, before🍸 that went into double digits when Bautista regained P4 late on.

Discussing the battle, Bautista added: "I fought with Remy at the beginning and at the end. In the first corner I was a bi🅺t stronger than him and could pass him. 

"In the flowing areas he could go faster, especially in the first𒀰 part of the race he was stronger and could move the bike easier than me. 

"At mid-race he was a bit ahead of me and I could not catch him. Maybe at the end I could manage the tyres a🐲 bit better and catch him again and fight for fourth place."
