168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Iannone was one of the stars of the season-opener in Australia as he claimed P3 in his first race, and following a good two-day WorldSBK test in Barcelona last week, chances of anothꦕer repeat result this weekend appear to be high.

Iannone concluded the test in fourth spot behind Nicolo Bulega who set 🃏an unofficial lap record, Toprak Razgatlioglu and Danilo Petrucci. 

Tyre wear is king in Catalunya but so is top speed, areas Ducati has shown to be strong at in 👍previous seasons.

So Ia൩nnone should be in contention for more podiums at a circuit he knows well thanks to his t𝓰ime in MotoGP.

Iannone’s return to racing has been very impressive and the Italian gelled with the Panigale V4 R the moment he jumped aboard it in Jerez last🍎 year.

Talking to🅘 WorldSBK.com about his initial impression, Iannone said: “At Jerez in October, when I tried the bike, I was immediately fast. We finished the first test in fifth place with 🐲a lap time that wasn’t bad.

“The feeling with the bike was immediately good. In any case, I think I need more kilometres. We need to wor🐼k a lot.

✨🦩“We understand everything a little bit better, especially the bike and tyres. For the tyres, everything changed because the tyres are different compared to MotoGP tyres.

“I think we worked well during pre-season and it’s important we have support f𒈔rom Ducati.”

Discussing his result at the opening round, Iannone was more surprised than anyone but admitted it made 🍎his comeback feel ‘special’.

“I didn’t expect this result,” began Iannone. “W🅰hen you achieve one podium, it’s a really great resu🃏lt.

“It’s a really special comeba🦄ck for me and I’ll never forget this moment ꦐand this weekend. After a long time, I lived a beautiful moment one more time.

“I fought with the best riders in WorldSBK, in my first ಌweekend and first race. What happens now?

“I’m in front, I’m first, I led the race. It’s incredible. I’m rea🧜lly happy, it’s beautiful. I won’t forget this first weekend🍰.”
