Alvaro Bautista unusually crashed four times in the two-day Misano WorldSBK t🐈est.

Ultimately the reigning champion tookܫ advantage of a dry patch on an otherwise wet day to finish fourth-fastest on Friday, despite three falls.

Yet he insisted that he is content with the latest learnings from his Ducati 🌟Panigale V4 R ahead of the next round of the championship.

“The morni🍰ng crash was strange,” Bautista said about Friday.

“I thought I was on SCX, but I wa꧃s on SC0. The feeling was, s**t, no?

“So, maybe🏅 I forced it more than I had to, and I crashed.

“But then the🌟y told me t⛄hat I was faster on the SC0!

“The second cꦦrash was at the last corner when it was 🦋wet. I lost the front passing over a patch.

“I didn’t expect it! Otherwise, not so bad!”

He later got sucked into theꩲ corner of Turn 14 andꦰ tumbled for the fourth time overall.

However, two weeks before 🍨the WSBK round at the same circu🃏it, Bautista might have unlocked more potential from his Ducati.

“I prefer the feeling on the race tyre,” he said.

“I am happy, eﷺspecially with the engine characteristics thജat we resolved here.”

He said about his setup: “I think the situation is the same. We ꧟have worked well on engine behaviour.

“We have not found anything for the s🉐etup, but I think what we have found in terms 💖of the engine will help us a lot.”

Bautista is considering whether to ꦕride on, or to retire in 2025.

“My priority is to think about the Misano race and to do our best,”🍸 he said. “I think after Misano I 🐭will take a decision.”
