Axel Bassani concedes that he and Bimota “have to work a lot” after ending the Po💦🏅rtimao WorldSBK test “without a really good feeling”.

Bassani’s start to life on the Bimota KB998 had been positive through the winter, and he was closer to the pace of his teammate, Alex Lowes, during the first 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike round of 2025 in Australia.

But the Italian struggled to make progress at the pre-event test in Portimao💝, taking p⭕lace two weeks ahead of the Portuguese Round to be held at the same venue.

“It’s been two strange days of testing due to the 🤪weather, like always,” Bassani said after th🌼e test.

“We had to do a lot of work in not many hours, but we tried to check all the items we wanted to 𒉰try. It’s been quite intense.

“Honestly, I finished the test without ﷽a really good feeling so I don’t know how the Portimao round will go.

“We 𓆉have to work a lot. At the moment, I don’t feel really fast, and I hope to feel better during the race weekend.”

Bassani’s comments were in contrast to those of the aforementioned Lowes, who said after the test that he had the best feeling he’s had yet with the KB998ꦗ i🦩n the Portimao test.

The WorldSBK Portuguese Round will take place at the Autodromo Internacional ♑do Algarve on 28–30 𒁏March.

Bassani goes there lying 10th in the championship♒, one position – and five points – behind Lowes.
