Two-time WorldSBK champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista was only ♋ninth fastest on the s🧔econd and final day of testing at Cremona.

However, the test was about much more than lap times as the factory Du🧸cati rider was able to find ꧋a more consistent feeling with the Panigale V4 R.

New to the Spaniard, Cremona offered the first chance for many riders to complete their first laps at ✃the Italian circuit, which will debut in the Superbike championship later t🗹his season.

And speaking about the circuit, Bautista said: “It was good to discover a new track and we did many laps after ⛦a long time from the last race. It was a good day for us to get the feeling with the bike again.

“It is always nice because it has been a long time since the last race. It was important and good to study a new𝔍 track for me because then I can focus on myself and not work on too many things with the bike.

“At the end, today we didn’t make big changes, just made laps to work on the feeling and get a re🧸ference. For next week’s test it was nice to start like this.”

U﷽p next is a test at Misano before riders head there for the fourth round o𝔉f the championship.

Bautista complꦦeted the treble at Misano last season, while in 2022 he won two out of the three races as only Toprak🔜 Razgatlioglu got the better of the former MotoGP rider.

Hoping to do the sameಞ next time out, Bautista admitted he is feeling more comfortable following the Cremona test.

“It is coming. I’m quite happy with the feelin🧸g with the bike,” began Bautista. “In a new track you never know where the reference for a lap time is or whe🌌re the limit is, but my first impression on the bike has been good.

“I’m looking forward to the next te🦩st in Misa😼no to confirm this feeling and if the performance is high it is better.”

Another Ducati rider who came away ver𒀰y pleased was Sam Lowes, who topped 🎀day-one of the Cremona test.

Lowes said: “It was great to get a first experience of the Crem♌ona track on a WorldSBK machine and this test also gave us the opportunity to work on a few set-up options that will improve our package in the next races.

“I enjoyed the track a lot more🏅 than I was expecting, and I want to thank the team for all their hard work.

“We are not just resting in this period off, and we had some new parts to try to make me feel com♉fortable.

“One key area of working was modifying my pos🌞ition on the bike, and I feel in that area we made some very positive steജps.

“My pace has been strong from the first exit here and we never focused on an outright fast lap, so I feel strong and confident that when we 𓃲return here later in the season I can be very competitive🐠.

“Now we’ll rest for a few days before getting back out on 🍷track next week in ꦍMisano. That is a track I love and I’m excited to try a superbike for the first time there.”
