Bautista 🌄started 10th, and being in 🍨the middle of the pack in the tight first chicane resulted in contact for the Spanish rider.
He got away relatively lightly, as both 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael van der Mark and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Locatelli ret𒈔ired when they cra❀shed as a result of the mid-corner stack-up.
“Here at Most, the first two corners are always tricky because we arrive together and it’s easy to have a situation like this,” Bautista exp🐎lained, speaking WorldSBK.com.
“Today, I was lucky I didn’t crash, b🎀ecause I had to close the throttle a little bit as Vierge was on tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe inside.
“Then somebody hit me really hard from the back.
“When I nearly crashed🍸 to the right, I saw a bike without a rider! It hit m𝔍e again and it put me back on track. I was a bit lucky not to crash.”
The co♌ntact left Bautista down in 16th, but he recovered to fifth by the finisඣh.
“Afte🔯r tha🌞t, Most isn’t an easy track to overtake because we have a lot of changes of direction, and a lot of flowing areas and it’s not easy,” Bautista said.
“I tried to keep calm and not be nervous; 𒅌just finish my race and get my pace and confidence.”
The two-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion ౠadded that he was struggling with his feeling on the♊ bike.
“The first laps, I didn’t feel good,” he said. “I struggled a lot especially when I had to relꦚease the brake, because the bike felt like it would push me out and I was struggling a lot to turn in the corners.
“I nearly crashed a couple of times due to this 🦩because I lost the front.
“Lap after lap, it improved, and I got more confident. I started to pass other riders and, when I had some free track, 🌱I was able to push hard.
“When I ar💛rived at other riders, it wasn’t easy to overtake.
“I think we are happy because the performance was good, and our pace was to fight for the podium. I’m happy with myꦓ feeling and the confidence on the bike.”
