Bautista’s attempt to ‘force’ Ducati to give him a chance

Alvaro Bautista completed the second day of testing with MotoGP Ducati at the Misano circuit in San Marino. The pilot from Talavera de la Reina impressed everyone with a record (1:32.590) that would place him in third row from last year’s Grand Prix.

Most surprising of all is the time the Spaniard achieved without making a ‘time attack’, that is, without pushing as hard as possible to challenge the clock. On the second day he added 49 laps then on the first day, where he did another 50 laps, he devoted himself more to experimenting and getting sensations in the Desmosedici GP.

“It was a good test. I was happy to be back at the Ducati Desmosedici GP and I am satisfied with the work we did. Between the first and the second day, the sensations improved, thanks also to the team and The Ducati, who gave me, put they put me in a position to adjust the bike with some changes that helped me feel more comfortable. We also worked to find confidence in different tire solutions and the results are tangible. The weather? It doesn’t matter , because also because I never looked for the weather: there was no reason to take risks. And the future? The future is in Donington and Imola. We have two very close rounds and after this good experience I have to think about the WorldSBK championship “, commented the reigning WorldSBK champion. Superbikes in the team statement.

Asked about the chance to make a ‘wildcard’ in the current MotoGP World Championship, the Spaniard assured that at the moment it is not on his list of priorities but if he gets the chance to do so, he would prefer to be in Malaysian Grand Prixin ok. Looking at the performance, Ducati probably thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give him that chance.
