Nicolo Bulega’s only blemish on the final day of WorldSBK testing in Barcelona was a small tip-off at turn one prior to taking over top spot from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci.

The Race 1 winner at Philli🌺p Island continued to show stunning pace throughout the second day of testing, ending with a new lap record.

• Alex Lowes hits the deck twice ♛but claims ‘my pace is good, happier aಞfter the test’ 

• Danilo Petrucci crashes but rebounds with P3 finish: ‘I think we’re in good shape꧑’

Again quickꦛer than two-time world champion Alv💎aro Bautista, Bulega was a consistent presence inside the top three as he battled Petrucci and Jonathan Rea.

Spe♏aking after setting his new lap record, Bulega said: “I tried for the 1’39 but in the afternoon, after lunch, the track condition was worse with more humidity; I think it was more difficult.

“I don’t feel pressure; it gives me a lot of motivation and makes me proud. It’s im🐻portant 🤪to me because when you’re fast, you understand that we’re working in a good direction with my team.

“Alvaro [Bautista] here is very, very fast; last year, he was incredible! If I can try to stay in front of him, it can be an i🌼ncredible result for me.

“Normally, when you have a strong teammate, it’s always good for the other one. It’s good to have Alvaro, he’s a motivation and your teammate is 🌠always the first one you want to beat for𓂃 everybody.

“You have the same bike, team and for sure, if Iꦓ can stay in front of him or him in front of me, it’s a good motivation.”

“Already in the morning it felt more difficult than yesterday,” began Bautista. “Less grip in the tyres and I had this feeling all day. The feeling wi𒐪th the bike was not very good tod𝄹ay.

“Physically I am back but yesterday I improve﷽d my feeling during the day, but today I started worse than yesterday and I never recovered the good feeling.

“I don’t know if it was track conditions but t☂oday I was not able t𒊎o have a good feeling.”

Pushed๊ further on what was causing him the biggest problem, Bautista said turning and generating punch off the corners.

Bautista add🅰ed: “It was especially turning. I struggled a lot on the gas and I had to make a lot of force with the bike. The grip on the rear was not too high and was spinning. The bike never caught and went forward.

“The rear didn’t help me turn the corners so 🐽I struggled a lot. One thing is the test and another is the race weekend.

“For sure, in the test last s🔯eason I felt much better and the pace was much stronger. But this year it is different and we have to work and try to understand why I had this feeling.”
