Fresh off winning his second 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:WorldSBK cham🤡pionship, the veteran rid♎er will head to the Malaysian MotoGP where he will compete as a wildcard for Ducati.

He has twice tested the Desmosedici this year and will be a fascinating measuring stick for MotoGP’sℱ current crop when he lines up alongside them.

Aruba.it Racing Ducati Team Principal Stefano Cecconi wondered what mind-set Bautista will💛 bring to his wildcard appearance.

“It’s hard to say beca🃏use Alvaro is not going tꦡhere just to be on the grid,” Cecconi said. 

“He did the test and enjoyed it; it was a prize tes🐓t. He🎃 did a second one by chance. 

“I think, in his heart, he’s started to think big.&nbs💯p;

“Of course, you cannot aim for the win in just♊ one event. 

“I d🥂on’t see him going there just to have some fun. I think he’s expecting to be strong on that track, especially if it’ll be hot. 

“With no pressure because the Championship is ov🐲er here, so he can enjoy the wildcard without caring about his own Ch🐈ampionship. It’ll be fun, I think.”

Bautista, now 38, raced fo🐭r nine seasons in MotoGP from 2010-2018 representing Suzuki, Honda, Aprilia and Ducati.
