Alvaro Bautista calls Race 1 at Most "the first race for me in 2024"
Alvaro Bautista: "We fought to our best but the feeling, as I said yesterday, im𒆙proved a lot and for me this was the first race for me in 202𒀰4."

Off the podium in Race 1 at Most, but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista was happier than at any point in the 2024 WorldSBK campaign.
Bautista suffered a three-place grid pe🐻nalty due to slow-riding on the racing line in qualifying, resulting iꦉn a P10 starting slot.
However, Bautista made immediate progress before a late charge saw him move up🐟 t♑o fourth.
Bautista, who again lost vital points to Toprak Razgatlioglu, has two wins to his resume in 2024,🦩 but Race 1 in M🐻ost was a breakthrough of sorts.
Speaking after the race, Bautista said: "We d🐻id not so bad in the Superpole but then I got penalised because I was slow on the line. Fortunately I did a good start and recovered a lot of positions.&nbꦡsp;
"The race was 🔯very tough because I never found the feeling I had in practi🅘ce.
ܫ"I tried to do my best but, also, I lost a winglet in the second corner and in the first laps the bike was working in a different way from the practices, especially in the right-hand corners.
"The front wanted to close. In the first th🥃ree/four laps I could not push that hard and I tried to reco🌠ver the feeling.
"The bike improved a little bit and could be mo💛re consistent with the lap♋ times.
"Then I battled with some other riders✱ but the maximum I could achieve today was fourth.
"We fought to our best but the feeling, as I said yesterday, improved a lot and for me this was the fir🌠st race for me in 2024 because I never had this feeling before."
One of Bautista's main battles in Ra🔥ce 1 was with Yamaha's Remy Gardner.
The pai😼r exꦚchanged positions more than nine times in the opening laps, before that went into double digits when Bautista regained P4 late on.
Discussing the battle, Bautista added: "I fought with Remy at the beginning and at the end. In the first corner I was a bit stronger than him and 💯could pass him.
"In the flowing areas he could go faster, especially in the first🦋 part of the race he was stronger and could move the bike easier than me.
"At mid-race he was a bit ahead of me and I could not catch him. Maybe at the end I could manage the💛 tyres a bit better and catch him again and fight for fourth place."
