Two non-finishes on the same day at the Dutch WorldSBK saw 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicolo Bulega miss out on as many as 34 potential points, but the Italian doesn’t need to “worry” about his championship situation, according to his factory Ducati teammate: 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista.

Bulega was second in the Superpole Race, albeit being closed down by Sam Lowes, when his Duc♛ati suffered a reported electrical issue on Sunday morning; and in Race 2 he was leading comfortably despite starting 10th on the grid as a result of the Superpole Race non-ܫfinish.

The luckless Sunday for Bulega cancelled out his 12-point gain over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu in Saturday’s Race 1, and saw his championship lead reduced to 21 over the reigning 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike𝄹 Champion, a cause of visible frustration for𝓰 the Italian who smashed the screen of his Panigale after the Race 2 issue.

However, Bulega’s dry weather performance in Assen was clearly stronger than his rivals’, and he was able to do a decent job in the wet, too – a podium at least seemed likely before the S𒁏uperpole Race retirement.

Such performance should neg⛎ate Bulega’s frustration - according to his three-time World Champion teammate, Bautista - because there ꦑare still nine rounds remaining in the 2025 season in which Bulega can impose his speed and pace and take profit from them in the standings.

“Fortunately there are still many races lꦏeft,” said🥀 Bautista after Race 2 in Assen, .

“I know his frustration, he feels he is 💎the fastest rider at the moment, but these two zeros are not his fault.

“🐈In my o♍pinion he has nothing to worry about, because he will not have technical problems in every race.

“He had two on the same day, but I think he can be very re🌠laxed, because he knows he is the fastest rider on the grid right now.🍬”

The next round of the 2025 season is the Italian WorldSBK at Cremona Circuit on 2–4 May. Bulega scored pole position and two podiums as a rookie there last year, while Razgatlioglu didn’t race after his infa🐟mous Magny-Cours practice crash two weeks before.
