• Yamaha confident Andrea Locatelli caဣn fight for titles; ‘he’s thinking like a winner’ 

• Yamaha admit ‘we needꦫ to take responsibility’ after Jonathan Rea disaster

But the world champion is not concerned after൩ finis🐓hing second in Race 2.

Speaking about the opening round, Bautistඣa told : “Last year I had six more productive days on the bike before the first race weekend than this year.

“I was able to gain confidence and work o𒐪n setting up the bike. This year, during the test in Australia, I was able to focus on my understandin🍸g of the bike for the first time.

“Jerez was a disaster because of my physical condition. Portimao was a little better, but I couldn't focus on the bike. From Tuesday i🍬n Australia I was able to ride accept💝ably.

“The race weekend was like a winter test for me - my confidence increas𒀰ed with every race. I think I'll reach my maximum again🌌 during the test in Catalonia and during the race weekend there."

A difficult weekend for Bautista was saved when he secured a top five in the Superpole Race, before leading Race 2 un🎶til Lowes came through with three corners left.

Despite missing out on victory at Phillip Island, a circuit he has dominated w♚ith Ducati, Bautista expects himself and the top three from the last few seasons to find their groove, along with Bulega who was brilliant on his debut.

“If I were to bet, I would put my money on the same three as last year (Bautista, Razgatlioglu, Rea),” added Bautista. 🎶;

“Johnnౠy Rea may have problems with the Yamaha in some races. And Bulega will consistently be in the top five, he’s fast.

“He [Lowes[ was always fast in Phillip Island.𒅌 But that won’t be the case every weekend.”
