The Aruba.it Ducati rider complete�🍒�d his third WorldSBK hat-trick of the season last weekend in Catalunya, which means 11 from a possible 12 wins have gone to Bautista.

And while the opening day of testin🍸g was only into the first session, Bautista picked up just where he left of🦂f by setting a new unofficial lap record.

• Bautista: “For now,♛ I loveꦺ it! In one of the best moments of my career” 
• Rinaldi and Bassani spat continues - “I don’t know what happened to his brai🐬n”

Bautista’s fastest time was&𝔍nbsp;a 1:33.035s, which is around three tenths clear of the official lap record set by Bautista during last season’s Superpole. 

At the end of session one (midday), B🐓autista was more than six tenths clear of Toprak Razgatlioglu.

Another two tenths further back was Michael Ruben Rinaldi, with the Italian facin🔥g a deficit of +0.896s.

Those were and remain the only two riders to get within a second of Bautista as Garrett 🐎Gerloff and Scott Redding rounded ou🍨t the top five.

Xavi Vierge then bumped Gerloff down to fifth during the afternoon, but he 💝too could not get within a second of Bautista.
