Two-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista had his Czech WorldSBK Race 2 ended at the first corner when he made contact with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea; without that, the Spaniard reckons he could have fought♍ for the podium.

Bautista and Rea’s collision at the first turn of the final race of the weekend left the Spaniard on the floor and Rea – who 🗹said afterwards that he thin🌃ks the contact was a “racing accident” – with a double long lap penalty, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Xavi Vierge will undergo assessments in Spain today (Monday 19 May) on a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:suspected right foot fracture.

For Bautista, the cr⛎ash meant a missed opportunity to fight for what would have been his first pod💟ium of the weekend having finished fifth in Race 1 and the Superpole Race from 10th on the grid.

“You have to keep the positive, and for sure we are working to arrive at a good performance [level] and reduce 🍌the gap with the front,” he told WorldSBK.com.

“🅷We are quite strong, compared to our best moments, but also the level of the category is a bit higher [than in the past]: more riders fighting for the front, also lap tim🉐es are faster, and for sure we are not in the same condition about the bike.

“But, in any case, we are working really hard, that’s our𓄧 target.

“ꦯI thin🎃k [in Race 2], again, we were able to fight for the podium at least, but we will try to keep working ahead and try to continue this tendency.”

Bautista’s late Superpole Race speed was strong,🔥 too, as he went from seventh to fifth in the final few laps, but ultimately he was frustrated to not have been able to benefit from his second-row starting position for Race ꦍ2.

“In the Superpoleꦉ Race I did a good start, I didn’t have any proble🍃ms in the first chicane,” Bautista said.

“Just I went long in the second lap and I lost some g𒊎ap; I think without the mistake I could battle for the podium.

“In any case, we gained a lot of positions for Race 2, it was good. But, at the end, it doesn’t matter the position you start, I al♉ways find some p🃏roblems in the first chicane.”
