Alvaro Bautista crashes three times in Italian WorldSBK practice: “Not my best Friday”
Alvaro Bautista crashed three times in Italওian WorldSBK practice, but "I’ve had worse Fridays”.

WorldSBK’s second visit to Cremona Circuit saw an eventful day one, not least for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista wh♏o crashed three times across the two Friday sessions.
Bautista crashed on his second flying lap in FP1 which cost him almost the whole session, only re-emerging for an install lap and a practice start at✅ the end of the morning session.
A crash in the opening 15 minutes of FP2 complicated his day furt🐻her, and then he crashed a🌟gain on his out-lap after rejoining the session.
He ended FP2 fifth-fastest, but it was nonetheless a complicated day for the two-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion.
“It hasn’t been the best Friday in my life, but I’ve had worse so I’m not unhap♊py,” Bautista concluded, speaking to WorldSBK.com.
“At this track, you have some areas that are bu✱mpy, and [in FP1] I pas𒊎sed over the bumps and lost the front.
“Then I couldn’t make any more lap times in the morning, so I ⭕lost th𝐆e whole practice.
“In the after♍noon, the target was to get the feeling again to recover the confidence and to start to build up with the setup and the reference of the track.
“It’s a new track for everybody, just the se🐼cond year so we need some references.”
He added: “The feeling straight away in the afternoon wasn’t too bad, maybe I felt like I was missing🍸 some feedback on the front.
“We were using the same tyre as i💮n the morning crash. I don’t know if maybe there was something wrong.
“The fact is that we star𓆉ted to build up my pace and my confidence, and my pace wasn’t too bad.”
Bautista said that his first FP2 crash was actually on𓆉 his in-lap.
“On the lap I slowed down to go to the bo🐓x, I just crashed,” he said.
“I don’t know why because I was slower than in all th🃏e laps♋ before.
“I ♕entered the pits and we made some small changes to the setup because the bike was quite aggressive in some areas, so we tried to make the bike smoother and easier to ride.
“I exited and on the first lap, I crashed again on the front without doing anything. It was very strange. In 🤪the end, we changed the front tyre to see if there was something wrong on the tyre.
“Straight away, I felt much betteꦉr with the feedback; it was like normal feedback and not so bad with the grip. I was able to recover a bit of confidence after those crashes.”
<H2> “I don’t know what my potential is”
The complicated Fridaღy meant that Bautista was unsure where to place his expectations for the meaningful sessions on Saturday and Sunday.
“I’m not sure what my goals are; I missed one practice, and we worked in FP2 with two crashes and strange feedback from the front practical💦ly all session, just at the end I recovered a better feeling,” he said.
“I don’t know what my potential is. We’ll try to work tomorrow to have a good 🔯Superpole as grid posit♍ion is very important here.
“After that, I’ll think about the races.
“First, we need to understand what happened today, if there was something wrong on the fron𝕴t and try to restart again and hope for a better or more normal day tomorrow.𝔍”
