Alvaro Bautista coඣmes into round six of the WorldSBK championship as the only current rider with prior experience of competing competitively at Autodrom Most. 

The S🐭paniard last raced at the Czech circuit in the European 125cc championship (2002); ‘but I don’t remember the track well’ confessed Bautista. 

With improvements made to the set-up and electronics of hi💮s CBR1000RR-R Fireblade last time out in Assen, consistency will no doubt be the next aim for Bautista after securing his best result of the year - fifth in race two. 

Bautista could have achieved similar results in the two races prior, however, crashesꦺ in both left the Team HRC man without points. 

"The la💦st race weekend was something of an uphill climb, but we were gradually able to improve our pe🍸rformance and results by working well on the set-up of the bike, especially on the electronics side," added Bautista.  

"We woul💮d like to start from where we left off there and place consistently in the 💙top five right from Friday morning. 

"Let's see; Most is a new track for the Superbikes and we will try to keep improving after ♐♍Assen. I raced at Most many years ago, in the 125cc European Championship (2002), but I don't remember the track layout very well, just a few points like the first chicane, which is very fast. 

"Anywa෴y, we will all have to get to grips with the track and find our references, and I just hope to work well with my team, find good sensations, and h💮ave fun riding my CBR at this track."
