168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Axel Bassani was second-fastest on D♓ay 1 of the WorldSBK test at Misano but he admitted it may not be replicated at the race weekend.

Bassani trailed only Toprak🌳 Razgatlioglu on Tuesday, then was third on Wednesday, b♒ehind the reigning champion and Nicolo Bulega.

The bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team rider is on a new bike for the second time in two seasons. His Bimota KB♔998 Rimini also b﷽elongs to a returning team who haven’t been in WorldSBK for over a decade.

So Bassani’s lap time shone on Day 1 of the test but he was wary of the upcoming 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship round at Misano.

“It’s been quite an interesting day, we tried some new items and improved my f✅eeling on the bike so I’m happy about that,” he said.

“We finished in a good position b𝔍ut its’s only a tes🦩t; this year we are usually in good positions in the test but during the race weekend we struggle a little bit more.

“I think conditions for the race weekend🎐 will be different from what we see now. I think it will be much hotter by the time 👍of the race weekend.

“I’m happy with the wor🍎k we’re doing, we're using the bike at its full potential, even riding it at 110%-120%. So I’m happy with our p𒁃rogress.”

Superpoles have ౠbeen a clear area of weakness for Bassani all year.

“We were testing new components on the bike, nothi♛ng I can talk about, but nothing special,” he insisted.

“We were 🗹focusing on my feeling with thꦿe bike. We used a SCQ tire because I want to work on my Superpole.

“We are fast, but not fast enough at the moment. I have to focus on th📖e Superpole because last weekend, that was my problem; when ꧂you start at the back, it can be really hard to come back.

“The Superpole is like 65% of the race weekend, so for sure I need to work o🐽n that area.”
