Off the podium in Race 1 at Most, but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista was happier than at any point in the 2024 WorldSBK campaign.

Bautista suffered a three-place grid penalty due to slo🎶w-riding on the racing line in qualifying, resulting in a P10 start🐓ing slot.

However, Bautista m꧙ade immediate progress before a late charge saw him move꧟ up to fourth.

Bautista, who again lost vital points t🎀o Toprak🅺 Razgatlioglu, has two wins to his resume in 2024, but Race 1 in Most was a breakthrough of sorts.

Speaking after the race, Bautista said🃏: "We did not so bad in the Superpole but then I got penalised because I was s💮low on the line. Fortunately I did a good start and recovered a lot of positions. 

"The race was very tough because I never ✱found the ℱfeeling I had in practice. 

"I tried to do my best but, also, I lost a winglet in the seco🔯nd corner and in the first laps the bike was working in a different way from the practices, especially in the right-hand corners. 

"The front wanted to close. In the first three/four laps I 🐎could not push th💝at hard and I tried to recover the feeling. 

"The bike improved a little bit and could be more consistent w𓃲ith the lap times. 

"Then I 🧸battl✱ed with some other riders but the maximum I could achieve today was fourth. 

"We fougᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚht to our best but the feeling, as I said yesterday, improved a lot and for me this wa▨s the first race for me in 2024 because I never had this feeling before."

One of Bautista's main battles i𝐆n Race 1 was wit൩h Yamaha's Remy Gardner.

The pair exchanged positions more than♑ nine times in the opening laps, before tღhat went into double digits when Bautista regained P4 late on.

Discussing the battle, Bauti🍷sta added: "I fought with Remy at the beginning and at the end. In the first corner I was a bit stronger than him and could pass him. 

"In the flowing areas he could go faster, especially in the first part of the race he was🌳 stronger and could move the bike easier than me. 

"At mid-race he was a bit ahead of me and I could not catch him. Maybe at the end I could ma🌼nage the tyres a bit better and catch him again and fight for fourth place."
