Nicholas𒈔 Spinelli on surprise WorldSBK win: ‘Maybe I was lucky, but I won’
The final two sectors were dry throughout, but Spinelli gained🐼 enough time on the wet sections to create a big lead.
Bautista and Toprak Razgatlioglu closed in rapidly with eight laps to go, but the red flag𝐆 soon came out.
Discussing the mental challenges of Race 1, Bautista said: “We ha✃d to switch our minds every lap. The first section was a bit too wet and the last two were completely dry so we had to switch every lap. In the first corner you had to take it easy and relax.
“Then, when you passed the back st๊raight you just pushed at 120%. But the problem was that someti💫mes when you arrived at the first corner after pushing, it was like ‘ah s**t’ because it was wet. It has been a really challenging race.
“Also, in the beginning it was crazy because everybody that was in front was discovering the track so all the guys behind them could push them and🧜 pass each other. I enjoyed the race a lot.
“I think that without the red flag I could have fought for the♐ victory until the end. But these things can happen.
“🍰I’m happy with my performance even th♒ough we couldn’t work on the bike in practice because of the conditions. But it was the same for everybody.”
Bautista admitted Spinelli was lucky, 🐈but that soไmetimes in racing you need luck to be on your side for such surprising results.
Baඣutista began by saying: “Well, when I saw him get past on the inside at corner three and four, touching the knee on the groun𓃲d and passing six or seven riders, I thought ‘okay, he has rain tyres’ because it is impossible to do with the slick.
“But at the same time I thought that maybe he didn’t understand these tyres and just pu✱shed like on slicks.
“I thought that we could catch him after mid-race. It’s true🎃 that the first part was too wet and it took a long time to become dry. I expected it to dry quicker.
“Even in the last few laps there w🐲as just one dry line. So you could not make any mistakes.
“He was lucky that the red flag came, but also it ⛦is important to have luck to win some races.”
