Alvaro Bautista ‘not worried’ by P12 position, ‘I stopped a lot’
Alvaro Bauti🀅sta says he’s not worried after having to stop many times throughout Friday practice at the Phillip Island WorldSBK round.

“It was a very ‘special’ Friday for everybody because in both practices🏅 it started raining just before,” said Bautista. “We didn’t make a lot of time on track and in FP2 we found some issues ꦗwith the electronics.
“Also, we tried a different set-up to improve my feeling and it didn’t work. I stopped a lo🃏t of times and didn’t do a lo💙t of laps.
“But the few laps that I did with the set-up♌ that I used this morning, and was quite happy with, I was good and consistent.
“I’m happy wi🦋th today because my physical condition is good and I felt more flow on the bike. My feelings are coming.
“Then, about the position; the 🌃lap times are really fast and everybody is very close. I’m not worried about the position and I’m mo🌄re focused on myself and my feelings. It was a short but positive Friday.”
🍎Bautista was seen wagging his hand when re🀅-entering the box during FP2, but the two-time world champion played it down after the session.
“It was the total of everything because it started to rain before and 𓆉I tried to make a lap to see the cond🤪ition, but then there was a red flag,” added Bautista.
“Then, when I started again I had an electronic issue and then I re🦄started again with the set-up that I did♛n’t feel comfortable with, so in the end it was chaos.
“But the important thing is that I got a good feeling with the bike in the😼 end.”
When speaking about his chances for this weekend, Bautista was confꦗident that he will bꦐe in the mix.
The Spaniard said: “I’m confident in myself and that the feeling with ꦆthe bike is coming. Step-by-step it’s getting better and we will try to improve every session tomorrow.
“I think I can do 20 laps with the tyres, not like doing a time atta💃ck every lap. It was possible to do 20 laps and it depends how you work with your bike.
“But we haveᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ to make a compulsory pit stop and the strate﷽gy has to be to do two Superpole races.”
