Second to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista during Race 1 of the 2023 WorldSBK season-o꧟pener, Rea 𝓰had little say in the podium fight during the Superpole Race and Race 2 after finishing seventh and eighth. 

The Kawasaki rider lac🌃ked performance from the beginning of b🍸oth races and was instead losing grip as both races went on. 

• Rinaldi: ‘I’ve sacrificed a lot, no more parties, I was in 💃bed at 10💃’ 
• Rea ‘expects to be stronge🍌r’, Lombok ‘more of a gauge’

"It’s been a tough week leaving Australia without the points we set out to gain," said Rea. "Everything was going quite smoothly up un๊til race day. Hard to draw any big conclusions as🌄 to why. 

"The bike balance is quite different to what we hꦐad during testing. Back to square one this weekend with a bike we know should work. We need to try and be more co🌌mpetitive. 

"We’ll forget last weekend,ꩲ we want to be strong this weekend whether it’s wet, dry, windy, whatever. 

"I think we have a good chanc🅠e this weekend to fight for the podium. Our target is much more than that. I want to win a race 🐼and get my season off to a proper start."

While fast at times in Phillip Island, consistency was one of the areas Rea lamented fol♔lowing Race 2.

Another problem that resurfaced was a lack of performance when track conditions ramped up during𝔍 the final race of the weekend, something Rea and Kawasaki failed to get on top of last season. 

Rea added: 🥃"We were fast in certain areas but consistently not good enough. We really struggled with setup and some different factors out there, like when the wind changed, tyre temperatures went up on Friday. 

"There’s been some areas where it’s been incredible. I was really strong in FP3. Hard to put it all togeth🔯er to understand where we fell short. 

"Clearly, in the races we didn’t quite nail the setup. We were miles off at the end of the 𒉰race. Even after looking after my tyre, using short lines𓄧, doing everything I could with my experience to manage the race, I was still nowhere. 

"We dropped off a cliff at the end, it’s really frustrating. I have to take some responsibility because it’s the dir🌳ection we’ve been going from Monday. 

"The crew have to take so🧔me responsibility but that’s led by me, my direction and my feedback. Bit of a look in the mirror to try and understand why we struggle🌃d so much."
