After stunning performances at Jerez and Portimao, Nicolo Bulega continued his impressive pre-season by challenging 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu at the one-day WorldSBK test at Phillip Island.

Less than one tenth separated Razgatlioglu and Bulega, as the latter showed why many expect him to be a contender for the podium, and even victory thisಌ weekend.

A crash at turn 4 scuppered Bulega’s running ti൲me but the Italian was able to remount and return the damaged bike to the garage.

Speaking after the one-day test, Bulega said: “I’m happy with this test because, from this morning, during the day, I improved my feeling with the bik🔯e, especially with used tyres.

“In the end, I didn’t do a long run but some laps together and I had a good 🐲pace. This is the most important thing at this test.

“In the last test I had at Portimao, I was v𝓀ery fast with new tyres, but I had to work a little bit on used tyres. I’m very happy♋ here because I improved this a lot.”

Bulega’s pace throughout pre-season♛ testing has been nothing short of sensational, whether it's’ over one lap or race simulations.

With Alvaro Bautista not showing the speed expected, Bulega has led Ducati’s charge in all ﷺthree tests.

However, the reigning Wor🧜ldSSP champion is not expecting to fight for victory this weekend.

In fa❀ct, the podium is not ‘my target’ either, said Bulega following the final day of pre-season t𒊎esting.

“I do👍n’t have goals for this weekend, just to try to do my best and I will see what I can do,” said Bul🐻ega. “I hope for a podium but it’s not my target.”
