Nicolo Bulega announced himself in WorldSBK by winnওing the first race of the season, and in the process became the fౠirst WorldSSP champion to win on his Superbike debut.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Iannone was third before going on to ꦏclaim fourth spot in the final race of thꦐe weekend. 

Both show💫ing their potential in a big way, Bulega and Ian💙none continued their impressive form during the recent Catalunya test.

Bulega sent a messag𝄹e to his rivals by finishing fastest with a new unofficial lap re▨cord, while Iannone put together a strong second day to close out the test in P4.

Also at the test was Pirro, wh🐻o spoke highly of the 💦performance of Iannone.

“I think Andrea has not forgotten over these years how to ride a bike,” Pirro told GP📖One. “He has retained that MotoGP style𒅌 that is well suited to the Panigale, and so he can show his potential.

“I am convinced that in Bar🧜celona we will see him again♔ at the front fighting for the top positions, despite the fact the track is peculiar because of tyre wear.”

Midway through la♏st season it became apparent that Ducati were very serious about moving Michael Rinaldi out of🦩 the factory team.

While some thought that Axel✨ Bassani was the likely rider to take over that seat, Ducati’s top brass instead went for Bulega who has not disappointed in his short time in WorldSBK.

Second in the world championship heading into this weekend’s 🌸Catalan round, Pirro said this about Bulega.

“Nicolo is working very well I think. He won in Australia and during the winter he has𒁏 always confirmed himself as fast in every situation.

“He has a different style than Bautista🌜, he is more rounded in his riding.

“Butꦓ he has shown great effectiveness riding the Panigale V4, precisely because the bike goes fast with many s🍬tyles.”
