Despite starting on the middle of the fifth row for the ten-lap WorldSBK race, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista carved his way through the field before taki꧑ng t🌟he lead late on.

The two-time WorldSBK chaಞmpion was brilliant as he showed signs of the Bautista that was dominant during the last two seasons. 

• Toprak: ‘Everyone was saying bad words, but everyone sees how g♏ood BMW is’ 
• Danilo Petrucci feeling ‘increasi❀ngly comfortable’ after stro꧋ng Catalunya round

The start to 2024 had been a considerable struggle, whether that’s pre-seas♓on testing or ♛the season-opener as a persisting shoulder injury and difficulties adjusting to the added ballast aboard his Panigale V4 R meant a slow start for the Spaniard.

But Bautista’s performance in the Superpole Race set him up for his dominant Race 2 win in Catalunya, as he beat Nicolo Bulega and Toprak 𓄧Razgatlio🍌glu.

Bautista led💫 the Superpole Race heading onto the final lap as he looked to hold off the✨ challenge from Razgatlioglu.

But the Du♛cati rider was unable to do so despite ta🌺king a defensive line at the final corner, as Razgatlioglu sent his BMW to the inside.

What Razgat☂lioglu’s aggressive move did do was push Bautista to the outside, allowing Andrea Iannone to come through and secure second.

Post-race, Bautista said: “I enjoye🎐d that battle with all the guys a lot. I just missed🌳 the win in the last corner.

“I knew Toprak was going to try, which evꦚer line I took! I tried to close it a little bit but not too much because I thought, ‘if I go on the inside ꧂kerb, he’ll go over the kerb’.

“In the end, I tried to manage but he entered to pass me rather than taking the corner. In any ca🎀se, I was happy with thꦡe performance.

“When everyone is pushing, starting from further back was hard. I could take the lead on the 💝last lap at Turn 1.

“In Race 2, I changed tyre cဣh♐oice on the grid. I did the sighting lap with the X tyre and the feeling was much better. It worked.

“In the first laps, I was very slow, but no one passed me! When I saw Nic🐻o pass me, I thought it was normal. I kept calm.

“When I caught him again, I꧅ thought it was possible to keep that pace until the end, so I took the lead.

“I could be ♉very precise with my riding, concentrated all race, so I’m happy with the win and the way we won. Step by step, my confidence and feeling with the bike is coming.”
