Andrea Locatelli says he🐈 felt ‘amazing’ aboard his Yamaha R1 before crashing out of victory conteꦰntion in Race 2 of the WorldSBK season-opener.

Like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Locatelli was showing more pace than race leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista as the final race of the WorldSBK season-opener reached the concluding stages.
Locatelli closed in on Bautista and Lowes before making a move on the latterಌ at turn four.

Alex Lowes: “I’m probably a bit🙈 too old to be making moves like tha𝓡t"
However, a💮s he ran wide, Locatelli swiftly applied the gas only to highside over the top of his R1.
A clear opportunity for his fir🐟st WorldSBK win missed, Locatelli said: “I’m fine. The feeling was amazing in Race 2. I think, ꦰduring this weekend, we did a really good job and never made mistakes.
“Unfortunately, we checked t🥀he data, and we don’t know why, but the bike was in neutral. I was wide and then I tried to put the gas on again, I made a mistake and lost the re📖ar.
“The first problem was the entry to the corner,ꦓ so this was a big shame because everything was working well.
“It was the last lap, and we were fighting for the win. Looks like we were living a dream but♚ not a good one!”
While Locatelli threw away the chance of winning his first Superbike race, the Italꦚian dominated new team-mate Jonathan Rea.
The six-time world champion also crashed out of💛 the ra🏅ce when running in tenth spot on lap three.
Potentially 𒉰Yamaha’s best bet of winning races going forward, Locatelli knows how high his ceiling is and is eager to prove he can achieve big results.
Locatelli added: “Sunday would’ve been an unbelievable day if we 🧸finished the race! We are stronger, we showed our potential.
“We were alwaysജ at the front from testing, free practices, and all sessions. This is the best thing for us.
“I’d always ▨like to forget when something happens, like last year at Aragon, and we need to forget Race 2.
“We were able to win th🦋e race, but this happened. We need to be positive, look forward and I can’t wait to get back on track because finishing four days of riding with 🎀a crash is not the best.”
