But the Ducati rider admits he is still someway away from his best form: “It’s always very, very special to race at home and Catalunya is a circuit I l🍸ike a lot and in the past, I’ve done really well at. 

“This year is a bit differeܫnt from the others; my condition is not the best l💞ike in other seasons. I feel better physically but the feeling with the bike is still not 100%.

“On Thursday in the test, the feeling wit🐈h the bike improved through the day but then on Friday, after it rained overnight, it didn’t help me to get a good feeling.

“I struggled to get grip throughout the day and the ꦐfeeling was a bit worse than Thursday. 

“The✤re’ll be a small change on the bike with the setup to adapt to the new weight rule. I don’t feel extra pressure; the pressure I feel is from myself 💯but not to win, get a podium but to get a good feeling with the bike.

“If I can ride like last year, I can be competitive but if not, we can’t fight for anything as the level of the grid is higher♑ and it’s more difficult.

“Nicolo is very strong, young and has a lot of talent. He got a feeling with the WorldSBK bike very fast and he’s going very fast. At the m𝔉oment, I don’t feel like one of the favourites for the title, as I’m not feeling at my best.”

Bautista’s team-mate Nicolo Bulega carried on his stunning form from Phillip Island by setting a new unofficial lap record at the Catalunya🗹 tes𓃲t.

In dreamland following💞 hi✤s Race 1 win in Australia, Bulega is hopeful of being a contender once again.

Bulega said: “I have a very good motivation because in Australia, we had an incredible first week and then we had a test here in Barcelona and my feeling with the bike✱ was very good.

“I think I have a good bi🎶ke and package. I am feeling good with my bike. If we continue to work like this, we can be competitive. 

“There’s no pressure. Australia was a dream debut weekend but here is a completely different story, the aspha♏lt is completely different and different conditions.

“If I can also be fast here, it’s very good for me.🔯”
