Still without news on whether he will be riding for the Aruba.it Ducati team alongside team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista in 2023, Rinaldi has shifted his focus to this wꦇeekend’s French WorldSBK round which has been a tough venue for Ducati in recent years. 

The Italian manufacturer’s last win at Magny-Cours came in 2017 when 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Chaz Davies won race two, but with Bautista in the form of his life, there’s reason to believe Ducati could make a 𒐪return to the top step of the podium. 

One of the riders who would like to make that a reality for Ducati is Rinal൲di, as the Italian is still without a win so far this season - Rinaldi had two race ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚwins at this stage last season. 

Rumours surrounding his future have been intense as Rinaldi’s factory Ducati seat has also been linked to MotoAmerica title contender 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci and fellow WorldSBK rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Axel Bassani. 

It’s also the onl꧂y remaining factory seat that has yet to be confirℱmed for the 2023 WorldSBK campaign. 

"It’s been a strange summer for me," added Rinaldi. "The goal is to just give 120% on ꦉthe bike, I don’t look at the position anymore🌊. If I give my 120% and win, I’ll be happy; if I give my 120% and I’m fifth, I’ll be happy. 

• Rea: ‘I learnt a lot fr⭕om Toprak’, Razgatlioglu not feeling ‘any pain’ 
• Quartararo second on 🍷top speed with 2023 engine: ‘Super happy!’

"I don’t care about the result. We will update about 🔯my future after this round."

WorldSBK series leader Bautista without ‘expectation’

For Bautista, maintaining his 30-plus point lead over168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:Toprak Razgatlioglu could prove challenging this weekend as both riders have brilliant records at♔ Magny-Cours. 

Bautista also has limited experience on dry tyres at the French circuit after the 2019 round was heavily impacted by rain.&nಞbsp;

"I approach the weekend like any other; for me, I haven’t done a lot of dry laps with the Ducati at this track three years ago, so I approach the round without any expectation," said the former MotoGP rider.&🉐nbsp;

"We’ll work from Frid🐠ay to try and get a good feeling with the bike, the same as I have done at the rest of the🔯 rounds, and try to be as competitive as possible and then we’ll see. 

"At Magny-Cours, the weather can be critical as sometimes you have a lot of rain or a lot of heat. In any case, I’ll 🧸try to be competitive and try and do my best."
