After finishing second fastest to Toprak Razgatlioglu during the recent Misano test, Pata Yamaha's 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea was left in just 14th place on day one of the WorldSBK race weekend.

New development tyre options from Pirelli added to the Friday w♏orkload, wh💫ile hotter conditions compared to the test left Rea in search of grip.

The six-time world cham♋pion lapped almost 1.5s slower than his test best of 1m 33.133s, leaving him one second from Razgatlioglu♚'s pace-setting Friday lap.

“It’s been a difficult day, iꦛn part because we arrived here with some different specification tyres from Pirelli so we had to factor that into our pl🃏anning today,” Rea said.

“I felt okay on the bike, just the conditions are different to the test so we are struggling for grip and ꧂the bike is behaving a little bit differently.

“I feel like I’m riding close to the limit but it’s clearly not, we still have room for some m🌸argin because Remy [Gar♎dner] was really fast today.

“It’s a mixed bag because I’m okay in Sector 1 and 2 but we need to improve in the second part of the lap - something to focus o🙈n for tomorrow.”

Gardner, who led the Yamaha challenge with third in the afternoon bಌehind only the Ducatis of Nicolo Bulega and Alvaro Bautista, said:

“The grip today was a bit lowe꧅r compared to the test we had at the end of May, but at the end we were able to pull out some good laps; our Friday was a good one.

“Of c♑ourse it’ll be important to hav🍷e a good qualifying to start in a good position, here in Misano starting grid position is important to build a solid race, which is our goal.”
