One of those was a podium which came in Race 1 as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Iannone finished a brilliant third, behind WorldSBK winner on his debut, Nicolo Bulega.

An issue with his handlebar prevented him from doing the same in the Superpole Race, but Iannone bounced back with a brillia🔯nt P4 in Race 2 after starting from 14th. 

Speaking about what caused the issue in the 10-lap Superpole Race, Iannone said: “Many, many things but i🅰n any case we closed this weekend wi🍨th a positive energy and feeling.

“We achieved third place in the first race. Unfortunately, in the Superpole race we lost the end bar grip and it w🐈as dangerous and strange for the first time in my life.

“In Race 2, with t♌he first tyre I was really happy because the feeling was incredible, but the second tyre I lost everything. The fee🐼ling was worst but it was a good point to start.”

While Ian𒀰none recovered very well in Race 2, the 🐻Italian looked stronger prior to the red flag falling.

Still, Iannone was not frustrated at missing out on a second podium: “Frustrated 𒊎no, but when it is possible to achieve more and you don’t achieve it then you are not completely happy.

“I’m 70% happy and it was an incredible comeback.

“I can’t talk negat✨ively and we need꧂ to continue like this and continue to push.

“Maybe in Barcelone it will🔯 be better. I’m really excited.

“We ba🍬ttled a lot and everything is difficul🌜t because every rider is fast.

“The Kawasaki was really fast on the straight and the BMW is fast, but I✃ enjoyed it a lot. It was a magical weekend.”
