After more than a decade without winning the WorldSBK title, Bautista brought glory back to Ducati thanks to one of the g🐭r💜eatest individual performances we’ve seen.

Racking up over 600 points - only 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea has managed to do that in a single season previously (🃏2019) - while the former MotoGP rider secured a series-leading 16 wins.

Bautista did it with tremendous top speed from hiꦆs𒁃 Panigale V4 R, however, there was much more to Bautista’s title win than just a fast bike in a straight line.

The Spaniard was fast and consistent on all types of circuits, while also being able to match the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu and Rea when it came to controlled aggression during the🎐ir on-track battles.

Superior under braking than in an☂y of his previous three Superbike seasons, Bautist💮a also made huge jumps in that regard which was vital in attempting to challenge and eventually beat his main rivals.

But Bautista wa🦋s also quick to point out that while his Ducati is obviously a fast bike, the Honda he rode in 2021 was even quicker.

"I remember that in 2021, with the Honda, I was faster in the straight," said Bautista when speaking exclusively to ltxcn.top. "The top speed was faster than last year. I think the way I can ride the bike and [the way I can be] aerodynamic on the straight can make the difference compared to the other Ducati riders.&nb⭕sp;

"For sure, I have some positive points and have ad🃏vantages with my weight and my height, bu🍨t also I have some negatives as well."

When I asked Bautista about whether he feels respected by his rivals, who have often lauded the to♓p speed of his Ducati rather than immediately pointing to the 38-year-old as being the main reason for his success, Bautista was unconcerned by what others think. 

Bautista added: "It seems that for the other riders they can only see my positive areas and they don’t see m🔯y negatives. It doesn’t matter if they respect my championship or not. 

"What is important is to have fun on thꦬe bike and do my best. Last season I did quite well, my performance was quite good and I feel very happy, very proud of what I did last year and the way I did it. 

"It doesn’t matter if the other riders respect me or not, or if the medꦑia does or not because I feel happy, I feel very confident in what I’m doing. I’m here to have fun and do my best. 

"For last season I learned many things that I can improve this season. For this season in 23 I 🐼will try to improve myself and try to learn from the mistakes in the past and be a better rider. I don’t feel like I won the title just because of the top speed because I was quite competi🌠tive in all kinds of circumstances, at all the tracks, I was fighting for the victory in every race. 

"I don’t think it was only for my top speed or my weight. 🔯There has to be more than that. But if the other riders or the med💦ia don’t want to see the reality then it’s not my problem. I just keep working like I’m doing and try to be a better rider every time."
