Bautista, who was riding the brand new Paniga𝐆le V4 R ahead of his WorldSBK title defence - Carrasco was aboard a Yamaha R6 as she continues preparations for her second season in Moto3 with BOE Motorsports - fell at turn one after rapidly closing in on the former Sup🤪ersport 300 champion.

The Ducati rider was one of the most impressive riders during the opening test of 2023 as he finished within a couple of tenths of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu on both days.

However, comments made from Bautista following ൲their day-one incident left Carrasco thinking a personal attack was made on her. 

Speaking to🌜 , Bautista felt Carrasco should not have been riding at the same time as Superbike riders, but ra🃏ther with ‘amateurs’.

Made aware of such a claim, Carrasco didn’t hold back in her reply 🐓as she cღalled out the reigning Superbike champion.

In what was a damning statement on her social media account, Carrasco alluded to Bautista making such a s✱tatement because ‘I’m a woman’. 

The Spanish rider said: "You say amateur becau♛se I'm a woman? World champion, I saw your [pit] board at the finish line and I knew you were coming. 

“Between T1 and T2, I turned to see when y𝓀ou were going to pass and saw y✱ou fall... So don't talk nonsense."

Bautista’s words appeared to be harmless, in fact, the Du꧙cati rider was on🌠ly pointing to Carrasco being well off the pace compared to all WorldSBK riders. 

Carrasco’s best lap time was ꦇover ten seconds down on other WorldSBK rider🧔s.
