- Nicolo Bulega: ‘On the straight I was like a chopper, rear tyre was fi🅰nished’
Speaking after Sunday’s Race 2, Lowes adde🏅d: “I am really happy with how our Sunday went because this is not the e♍asiest track for us.
“It has been a difficult weekend and we didn’t really have the spꦏeed in the recent tests or on Friday in Free Practice.
“So to get thre💫e top six results is good. I was really strong at the end of the last race, catching Petrucci and Gardner, trying to get into the top five.
“After Austꦉralia we were expecting a lot but we know this track is quite difficult. I enjoyed the Superpole Race and feeling comfortable with the bike.
“I was able to do the best laps we have made at the track and improve 🦩my race time compared to last year by quite a lot.
“Overall, we have to be happy. I enjoyed th🐼e team’s home race and I am already looking forward to the next round in Assen.”
A tough opening roun⛄d in Australia was backed up in Catalunya for Bas🌼sani who could only managed tenth as his best result.
The Italian, through no fault of his own, saw his weekend come to an early end after failing to finish following contact with Andrea 🐲Locatelli and Michael Rinaldi in Race 2.
“The Superpole Race was good but it is difficult to recover places even if we had 20 laps,” said Bassani. 🐈“With ten laps in the Superpole race it was qui🧜te impossible.
“We lost some positions in the last lapꦛs. It was not easꦯy but the feeling was better than yesterday.
“For surꦉe we have to work a lot with the front, and also the rear as I don’t really have a good feeling. But it was better.
“In Race Two, the feeling was really good even at the end of the formation lap, because we had c💎hanged something.
“I recovered sﷺome positions in the first three corners, so I was able to be in P9 and then I would manage my race to arrive at the end in a good position.
“But, M🍸ichael Ruben Rinaldi arrived straight at me and that put me down really strongly. It is a shame because I think today we had the possibility to stay with Alex, with Johnny, a⛄nd try to arrive in seventh or eighth place.
“For us that would be not bad. We will start again in the Netherlands an♊d see what happens.”
