168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Locatelli had a chance to win Race 2 - would have been his maiden WorldSBK win had he pulled it off🐻 - before crashing out of ♉contention on the final lap.

𒈔Much quicker than team-mate Jonathan Rea throughout the weekend, Locatelli signalled his intent as he looks to lead Yamaha’s challenge.

And Andrea Dosoli believes the Italian can be a contende♉r after seeing a new approach from his rider.

“It was clear to see that Andrea Loc🗹atelli made a big step,” began Dosoli. “Not only was this clear from his performance, but for me the biggest thing was his approach to the weekend.

“Befor🍒e heading to Phillip Island, Andrea and his crew chief Tom O’Kane had a very clear target in mind – they wanted to win a race, and their performance 🅰on track shows they can achieve this. 

“I think we can say that this weekend Andrea has shown a new level of maturity as throughout the weekend he displayed a winning mentality; he is thinking like a win🌠ner.

“This is a combination of the steps he has taken himself, but also wꦐhat he has learned from his new crew chief so I would like to congratulate both Andrea and his crew for this.

“It is just a matter of time before h✅is first🎃 WorldSBK win now.”

Although Locatelli came away from the season-opener winless, Locatelli’s pace during a♕ll three races was very impres♉sive.

Locatelli was arguably the quickest rider during both Sunday 🎃races, which bodes well for the Yamaha man as he demonstrated stunning speed in two types of races.

Pointing out his rider’s potential, Dosoli said: “In both the Superpole Race and Race 2 he was the quickest rider on the track making an ✨impressive series of overtakes. 

“It was only the 🍷unlucky false neutral on the ꦍlast lap which prevented him winning in Race 2, I am 100% convinced he deserved the win in that race. 

“Of course he is disappointed with the result of the last race, but these things happen in racing – the most important thing is he showed his potential to fight at the front. Locatelli can be🔯 a title contender this season.”
