After injuries derailed him during the last two seasons, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Van Der Mark finally appears to be back at his best following another positive WorldSBK performance at Assen.

Van Der Mark returned to form in Barcelona before challenging for the podium places dur🍨ing Sunday’s double-header. 

• Nicolo Bulega: Rear tyre ‘completely finished’ in Superpole Race, ‘𓄧Alvaro really fast’ 
• Andrea Iannone: “We want and ne🍸ed to fight for victories”

Van Der Mark ultꦬimately came up short after going ‘back to my old habits’, but it’s cl♐ear that the addition of Toprak Razgatlioglu is helping the Dutch rider.

“I⛦t was nice to fight for the podium and stay with the top guys,” said Van Der Mark. “It has been awhile. In Barcelona 💫I was pretty close but here I could fight with them.

“Of course, I would have liked to be on the podium here in Assen. We tried, and came really🐷 close, but we have to stay realistic and it has been awhile since I’ve been in these positions and in this form. 

“I struggled a bit at the end of the race because I went back to myꦇ old habit of pushing a bit too hard in the wrong places.

“That’s why I lost the top group. But I ꦏshould be happy to se🎃e that we are making steps.”

When rain began to fall during Race 2 Van 💟Der𒁏 Mark was one of the riders that pushed on to try and claw back lost time.

And speaking about the conditions, Van Der Mark was happy to see the changeable conditions i♕mpact a race for the second time in two days.

“I thought, let it come. I will push more now! It was difficult because I didn’t really know how much rain there would🍸 be and how wet the track would be,” stated Van Der Mark.&nb🦄sp;

“Everybody was looking at each other but ♕this was my time to close the gap and I managed to do it but it was really difficult. Also really fun.

For the first time this season Van Der Mark was able to chꦺallenge Razgatlioglu, finishing ahead of him in the Superpole Race before overtaking the eventual Race 2 winner early on in the second feature race﷽.

Discussing the battle with Razgatlioglu, Van Der Mark jokingly said: “It was nice to battle with them but I started to push in the wrong aꦉreas.

“I was back in my old habit an🧜d that’s why we losওt it, but that’s why we compare with Toprak. 

“I have to work on this. It was fan♍tastic. I saw in the race how strong he was and I made a cheeky little pas🍸s on him to wake him up a bit.

“It was nice to fight with him a✱nd it was fantastic to see him take this win.”
