A tough San Jaun WorldSBK weekend sees Andr🃏ea Locatelli miss out on a top five result for the first time since Donington Park.&nꦿbsp;

Locatelli’s impressive🍌 Assen showing back in late July began a run of seven consecutive rounds where he scored at least one top five - usually more than that. 

And ꦬaltho💃ugh he got close in the Superpole race with P6, the ‘feeling to fight for a good position’ never came, despite making improvements from Saturday’s race to Sunday.

"We tried to improve a little bit this mo👍rning and we made a good step because in the Superpole race we could fight more," added L𝓀ocatelli. 

"Then we were able to s♏tart race two in P6, so while on Sunday ✅we improved a little bit, I am not completely satisfied but for sure we need to be happy with the improvement we did make. 

"It🍎✱’s a strange weekend for us, when we arrived here my feeling and also in my mind I had another objective, but in the end we can take what we have. 

"I tried to get the maximum and also the guys wo♑rked so hard to give me a good bike, but in the end the feeling with the grip didn’t come and we lost the opportunity to fight for a good position." 

The next round wꦏill♉ be the final one of 2021 and is a round that could see Yamaha clinch their first riders title since Ben Spies in 2009.

Toprak Razgatlioglu leads the championship by 30 points over Jo༺nathan Rea, so if he’s in a position to do so, the Italian intends to support his team-mate.

Locatelli said: "Indonesia will be complete꧋ly different and new for everyone, we will see and of course, push for the maximum꧒ and also try to support Toprak to win the title there."
