Nicolo Bulega lost out on top spot during the WorldSBK test at Portimao, as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu finished less than a tenth clear.

Bulega, who had▨ topped day one and both days at Jerez, has been the star of testing so far but admitted his stunning pace is only the beginning. 

The Supersport champion does not feel at 10🔴0% yet, despite being fast over one lap and ra𓆉ce distance.

“It was a very good day; my feeling with the bike is n𝄹ice,” began Bulega when speaking to WorldSBK.com. “Obviously, I need to adapt as I’m not at 100% but it’s normal. We’re working v🌸ery well all together.

“I’ll go to Australia with good positivity. The lap was with the S༒CQ but with the SCX, I was very fast so apart from lap times – which are important but not a lot – I am happy because my race pace was good.”

With Alvaro Bautista nursing pain and on a different testing program, Bulega has🌱 been their challenger at the top of the timingsheets.

But Bulega feels more is yet to come after admitting he still hasℱ margin to improve.

The Italian said: “I think it has🐻 been very good; we started at Jerez with a normal feeling but every day, my feeling was getting better, so this is very important and I think we hav🍌e some margin.

“We’ll try to be more ready in Australia. It’s a litt꧅le bit better than expected. I don’t have a lot of things to do; more time on the bike, do more laps and understand the bike better with worn tyres and low fuel.

🌳“I am excited and looking forward to Australia 🥂with this amazing bike, as Phillip Island is my favourite circuit.”
