After competitive outings at Jerez and Portimao last month, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Iannone was again in the positions many expect him to be in for much of the 2024 WorldSBK campaign.

The former MotoGP rider finished just under half a sec🤪ond down on Toprak Razgatlioglu, who along with Nicolo Bulega had a sizable advantage over everyone else.

• Nicolo Bulega shines again at Phillip ꧟Island test, ‘but podium is not my target’

But it was with race tyres🙈 that Iannone shone the most as he was consistently 🐻inside the top three.

“I think the day is a little bit better compared to the past,” said Iannone. “In the end, it’s always a balance. With the soft tyres, I ride slower than w🦋ith the race tyres and this is a big problem.

“Maybe I have a good race pace, but I have to start further back and it’s bad to recover a lot of positions. We need to learn and improve in this are⭕a.

“After a long time, I think it’s a good comeback. My position is not bad. I need to learn this cate🍨gory because everything is different.

“The tyres change a lot and the bike and format. I don’t kno💞w what to expect.”

For any rookie ge🍒tting the best out of qualifying tyres seems to be one of the hardest ch🥂allenges in WorldSBK.

Iannone is unable to show the same pace in qualifying trim, and as a result believes his race results could be heavily🔥 impacted.

Iannone added: “In any case, it’s really good because, after four years, I’m excited because I didn’t expect to arrive at💝 this level. I’m proud of this.

“We struggled a lot especially with the soft 🥂tyres, I ride slower than with a race tyre! This is the big problem.

“We have a Superpole Race, and in this race, we use soft tyres. In Superpole, we need to start in front. In the end, the positive thing is with the SC1, anღd in general in these tests, we are always more or less in the top three.

“We struggle a lot with soft tyres 🅺and it’s the third time we’ve had this pꦡroblem. I’m a little bit worried about this. I’m surprised.

“I don’t know how to explain my pace, but I prefer it like this! Everything is natural so I’m ha🔯ppy. With the race tyre✨s, we are really close; sometimes we are the best, sometimes we are top three.

“Thiꦜs is the most important thing. It’s important we calm down because this is just the begin♕ning.”
