Three races and three defeats to Toprak Razgatlioglu sounds like a disappointing weekend for Nicolo Bulega, but the Italian rider found pos꧃itives in his losses.

The factory Ducati rider extended his championship lead over the course of the weekend from 26 points to 29, with Razgatlioglu taking up the chase from Alvaro Bautista who was second after Australia – something which can’t have hurt the second-year 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike rider’s mood.

Additionally, the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve is a circuit Razg𒉰atlioglu has been strong at throughout his career, so Bulega felt that finishing within 0.2 seconds of the Turkish rider in each of the three races was a reasonable ꧅performance.

"I couldn’t do more than what I did today,𝔍” Bulega said after Race 2.

“I’m happy because this is on𒊎e of Toprak’s [Razgatlioglu] best trꦏacks.

“He’s always very, very strong here in Portimao.

“To battle with hℱim here is a good sign. It means we’re making progress. This is important for the rest of the championship.”

Bulega was also happy about the improvements made compared to the test iജn Portimao two weeks ago, where he had a large deficit to Razgatlioglu and where he felt he lacked a good feeling with the Panigale V4 R.

“Two weeks ago, during testin🐭g, I didn’t have a great feeling here, but we made big improvements to the bike for the race weekend.

“Ducati and my team have worke♕d 🐠so hard and I’m happy with our progress.”
