Alvaro Bautista Czech WorldSBK crash a “racing accident” - Jonathan Rea
Jonathan Rea says his crash🍸 in Czech WorldSBK Race 2 with Alvaro Bautista was a “racing accident”.

Contact between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista saw both riders 🍨affect𓄧ed, and two others involved, but for Jonathan Rea it was just a “racing accident”.
The six-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion was given a double long lap penalty for the crash, which left Bautista out of the race and also collected 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Xavi Vierge, who has a 1🧸68澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:suspected fracture in his right foot.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes was also forced to take avoiding action and was back tꦏo 20th on the first lap having started seventh.
Rea said after the race that the incident was just a case of him and Bau🌜tista committing to the sam🔯e part of the track.
“For me it was a racingꦍ accident,” Rea told WorldSBK.com.
“We [Rea and Bautista] both committed to the exact same piece of [asphalt] and o🙈f course there was an impact.
“I was the culprit and it ended his race – I’𒉰m sorry for that, I went to see Alvaro [Bautista] straight after the race and also Xavi Vierge who got caught up in the accident as well, who came off a little bit worse physically, and offered mཧy apologies.
“But, for me, it’s racing. I ha♛d my race as well, it’s just really unfortunate. I’m gutted for those guys that it compromised their race, and also Alex Lowes who had to take avoiding action.”
Rea added that the number of incidents seen at the firs🦋t two corners at Most shows that ch🐲anges should be made to the section.
“So, frustrat🐎ing, but we know that this is Most,” Rea said.
“[We need to] try to find some suggestions, or something to make it a little bit easier; maybe starting a bit closer to turn one could be a good idea♔ for the future because almost all the races this weekend had some sort of drama in turn one, and unfortunately I was🃏 involved in this race.”
Rea had al𒀰so had good starts in the opening two races of the weekend, and said in Race 2 he was just following the same “strategy”.
“The strategy was the same as in the first two races because I came out of tur💃n two in good track position from P14 [on the grid] – I think P6 in Race 1 and even better in the Superpole Race,” he said.
“So, it was just a case of using that♉ same strategy, running overꦓ that inside kerb, taking more action to stay right and getting the cutback on the carnage to the left. Unfortunately, in the long race it didn’t work out.”
Bautista: “Not the best of luck”
For Alvaro Bautista, the incident was bad luck, and aft🍎er several incidents ✅in the first chicane at Most in previous years, and even in this year’s Race 1, he confessed to not having “a good relationship” with the opening corners of the Czech track.
“For sure, not the best of l🏅uck, but at the end it was not a matter of luck because it [involved] other riders,” Bautista told WorldSBK.com.
“So, the bad luck was 💧to me but if it wasn’t to me then it would be to another rider.
“The first ch𓄧icane here is critical, [so] 𒊎it could happen.
“Unfortunately, this year it happened to me twice, but also last year it happened to me twice as well, so it seems like the first chicane and me don’t have a good relationship. Anyway, I’m 🍎physically okay, that’s the most important thing.”

Alex joined the team in August of 2024 ꧂having cov✅ered consumer and racing motorcycle news at Visordown for two years.
