Nicolo Bulega’s only blemish on the final day of WorldSBK testing in Barcelona was a small tip-off at turn one prior to taking over top spot from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci.

The Race 1 winner at Phillip Island continued to show stunning paꦛce throughout the second day of testing, ending with a new lap record.

• Alex Lowes hits the d𒀰eck twice but claim𝓀s ‘my pace is good, happier after the test’ 

• Dan♉ilo Petrucci crashes but rebound💛s with P3 finish: ‘I think we’re in good shape’

Again quicker than two-time world champion Alvaro Bautista, Bulega was a cons📖i♏stent presence inside the top three as he battled Petrucci and Jonathan Rea.

Speaking after setting his new lap record, Bulega said: “I tried for the 1’39 but in the a🐠fternoon, after lunch, the🐽 track condition was worse with more humidity; I think it was more difficult.

“I don’t feel pressure; it gives me a lot of motivation🃏 and makes me proud. It’s important to me because when you’re fast, you understand that 🌊we’re working in a good direction with my team.

“Alvaro [Bautista] here is very, very fast; last year, he was incredible! If I can try to stay in front of him,ꦕ it can be an incredible result for me.

“Normally, when you have a strong teammate, it’s always good for the other one. It’s good to have Alvaro, he’s a motivat𒅌ion and your teammate is always the fi🍰rst one you want to beat for everybody.

“You have the same bike, team and for sure, if I can stay 🦋in front of him or him in front of me, it’s a good motivation.”

O♓n the other side of 🧔the factory Ducati garage, Bautista struggled to generate the same pace and feeling as day-one.

“A༒lready in the morning it felt more difficult than yesterday,” began Bautista. “Less grip in the tyres and I had this feel💯ing all day. The feeling with the bike was not very good today.

“Physically I am back but yesterday I improved my feeling during the d🐭ay, but today I started worse than yesterday and I never recovered the good feeling.

“I don’t know if it was track conditions but today I was not able to have a good feeli❀ng.”

Pushed further on what was causing him the biggest probܫ♍lem, Bautista said turning and generating punch off the corners.

Bautista added: “It was especially turning. I struggled a lot on the gas🌸 and I had to make a lot of force with the bike. The grip on the rear was not too high and was spinning. The bike never caught aꦇnd went forward.

“The rear didn’t help m🧸e turn the corners so I struggled a lot. One thing is the test and another is the race weekend.

“For sure, in the test last season I felt much better and the pace was much stronger. But this year it is💞 different and we have to work and try to understand why I had this feeling.”
