168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea is targeting a more productive W🍸orld Superbikes round wi♑th new team Yamaha this weekend.

The second round of the 2024 WorldSBK championship at the Circuit de🃏 Barcelo🌸na-Catalunya comes after Rea was able to enjoy two beneficial days of testing his Yamaha.

Previously, 🌄at Phillip Islan💙d, his post-Kawasaki era got off to a dreadful start with a big crash in Race 2 at the opening round.

Six-time champion ☂Rea said in Barcelona: “It’s a nice track and we have an added benefit of testing here la﷽st week, so we already feel ahead of the race weekend.

“We got rid of some of the 𒐪confidence issues I had in Australia and drew a line under some of the issues from a setup point of view.

“After the crash, I’m fully recovered. WorldSBK is so competitive💎, not ju🉐st for the front positions but if you have a tough weekend, you’re going to be down the order by quite some way.

“We still need to improve the tyre consumption although the most positive thing is we did t🥂he race simulation and we know how the bike behaves.

“We know the last couple of laps here can be criticaജl. I think a podium is a realistic target but we’re still some way off targeting ♏a race win, but that battle for the podium is hotly contested so I expect it to be a lot of guys, but I feel like one of the guys that can fight for that.”

Yamaha team✱mate Andrea Locatelli came second to Nicolo Bulega in Race 1 at Phillip Island.

He impressively ove𝓡rtook Andrea Iannone, Alex Lowes and Toprak Razgatlioglu to claim an impressive P2 finish.

Locatelli said ahead of this weekend’s second round in Barcelonaꦏ: “I’m feeling better, after the test I felt pain in my left knee, but I improved this week.

“It’s important to get back on༒ track because the feeling at and after Phillip Is🎃land was amazing.

“This is another track, but we can be fast. Never say ♛never because the potential we have is quite high.

“We need to take an 🥀opportunity. This track is tricky at the end of the race with the tyre.

“Iꦉ think we can stay in front during the race. At Phillip Island, we were close to fighting for victory but lost that chance.

“We are really🍸 close and have many races this year, so the target is to bring home a lot of podiums and, at the same tim🍃e, is trying to fight for the win. I believe in it. We showed our potential.

“I hop🐬e it comes sooner rather🍸 than later but we will have an opportunity!”
