168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea is targeting 𓄧a more productive World Superbikes round with new team Yamaha this weekend.

The second round of the 2024 WorldSBK championship at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya cꦏo♚mes after Rea was able to enjoy two beneficial days of testing his Yamaha.

Previously, at Phillip Island, his post-Kawasaki era got off to a dreadful start with a bi🥀g crash in Race 2 at the ope🎐ning round.

Six-time champion Rea said in Barcelona: “It’s a nice track and we have an added benefit of testing here last week, so we already feel ahead﷽ of the race weekend.

“We got rid of some of the confidence issues I had in Austra𓂃lia and drew a line under some of the issues from a setup point of view.

“After the crash, I’m fully recovered. WorldSBK is so competitive,💛 not just for t𝓡he front positions but if you have a tough weekend, you’re going to be down the order by quite some way.

“We still need to improve the tyre consumption꧂ although the most positive thing is we did the race simulation and we know how the bike behaves.

“We know the last couple of laps here can be criticไal. I think a podium is a realistic target but we’re still some way off targeting a race win, but that battle for the podium is hotly contested so I expect it to be a lot of guys, but I feel like one of the guys that can fight for that.”

Yamaha teammate Andrea Locatelli came second to Nicolo Bulega in Race 1 at P𝓰hillip Island.

He impressively overtook Andrea 🌌Iannone, Alex Lowes and Toprak Razgatlioglu to claim an impressive P2 finish.

Locatelli said ahead of this weekend’s second round in Barcelona: “I’m feeling better, af♋ter🥂 the test I felt pain in my left knee, but I improved this week.

“It’s important to get back on track becau༒se the feeling at and after Phillip Island was amazing.

“This is another track, but we can be fast. Never say never because the potential we ha🐽ve is quite high.

“We need to take an oꦡpportunity. This track is tricky at the end of the race with the tyre.

“I think we can stay in front during the race. At Phillip Island, we were close to fighting for♚ victory but lost that chance.

“We are re﷽ally close and have many races this year, so the target is to bring home a lot of podiums and, at the same time, is trying to fight for the win. I belie🌌ve in it. We showed our potential.

“I hope it comes sooner rather than later but we will have an op💙portunity!”
