After topping the opening day of the WorldSBK Phillip Island test by almost half-a-second, Nicolo 𝓡Bulega more or less maintained his advantage on day two, leaving him optimistic ahead of the first round of the 202ꦏ5 season this weekend.

Bulega was 0.498 seconds🧔 ahead of Andrea Iannone on Monday, an🐓d by the end of Tuesday the Go Eleven rider was only marginally closer at 0.482 seconds behind his compatriot.

It’s a sizeable advantage for Bulega to head into the Australian Round with, almost one year on from his on-debut maiden 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike victory.

“I improved the feeling from yesterday, w꧃hich was already good, so I 𓆏think we have a strong package to start the race weekend,” Bulega said at the end of the second and final day of the test.

“I'm happy with how the bike feels – everything is working well at the moment. Of course, we still have room 🔜for improvement, but I’ve already made a small step ꧑forward from yesterday, and if we can take another, that would be great.”

Despite the positive test, Bulega was not getting c🍷arri🥀ed away ahead of the first round of the new season this weekend.

“Testing is one thing – it’s important to have a good feeling, but, at the end of the day, yജou don’t score pointꦰs in testing.

“I’ll start Friday with a positive mindset, knowing we have a strong package, I feel good at this ci💎rcuit, and the bike is working well here. Hopefully, we can keep this momentum going and 𒀰improve a little more.

“I’m really lookinඣg forward to the first race of the year. I have to admit, I don’t enjoy testing that much; I prefer race weekends. Testing can get a bit boring, so I’m really excited to start racing.”
