Bautista not focusing on WorldSBK championship lead
Rea and Razgatlioglu's individual mistakes are notඣ the first time they've cost themselves valuable points in the same race, as the pair also crashed out in Assen as a result of contact between the two.
But de𒈔spite opening up his biggest advantage of the season, Bautista’s sole 🔯focus remains on each race.
"Sincerely, I don’t look at the gap in the championship," continued Bautista. "If you are focused on that, you are not focused on the track𝐆🌳.
"I try to be focussed on ꦛthe track, try to enjoy with my bike and try to get the maximum from my Ducati. At the end, wh꧋en the championship is finished, we will see where we are and what is the difference."
