Nicolo Bulega’s only blemish on the final day of WorldSBK testing in Barcelona was a small tip-off at turn one prior to taking over top spot from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci.

The Race 1 winner at Phillip Island continued to show stunning pace throughout the second day of testinꦗg, ending with a new lap record.

• Alex Lowes hits the deck♏ twice but claims ‘my pace is good, happier after the test’ 

• Danilo Petrucci crashes but rebounds with P3 finish: ‘I thꦬink we’re in good shape’

Again quicker than two-time world chaꦫmpion Alvaro Bautista, Bulega was a consistent presence inside the top three as he battled Petrucci and Jonathan Rea.

Speaking after setting his new lap record, Bulega said: “I tried for the 1’39 but in the𓂃 afternoo💎n, after lunch, the track condition was worse with more humidity; I think it was more difficult.

“I dღon’t feel pressure; it gives me a lot of motivation and makes me proud. It’s important to me because when you’re fast, you understand that we’re working in a goo൩d direction with my team.

“Alvaro [Bautista] here is very, very fast; l🦩ast year, he was incredible! If I can try to stay in front of him, it can be an incredible res๊ult for me.

“Normally, when you have a strong teammate, it’s always good for the other one. It’s good to have Alvaro, he’s a motivation and your teammate is always the first one you want to beat forᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ everybody.

“You have the same bike, team and for sure, if I can stay in front of him🐲 or him in front of me, it’s a good motiva༺tion.”

On the♉ other side of the factory Ducati garage, Bautista struggled to generate the same pace and feeling as day-one.

“Already in the morning it felt more difficult than yesterday,” began Bautista. “Less grip in the tyres and I had this feeling all day. The feeling💜 with the bike was not very good today.

“Physically I am back but yesterday I improved my feeling duringꦡ the day, but today I started worse ಞthan yesterday and I never recovered the good feeling.

“I don’t know if it was tra🍰ck conditions but today I was not able to have a good feeling.”

Pushed further on what was🅰 causing him the biggest prob🏅lem, Bautista said turning and generating punch off the corners.

Bautista added: “It was especially turning. I struggled a lot on the gas and I had to make a lot of force with the bike. The grip on the rear w🦩as not too high and was spinning. The bike never ca💦ught and went forward.

“The rear didn’t help me turn the corners so I꧂ struggled a lot. One thing is the test and another i𝔉s the race weekend.

“For sure, in the test last season I felt much better and the pace was much stron𓆏ger. But this year it is differen꧅t and we have to work and try to understand why I had this feeling.”
