Today we get serious
The premises for one battle of the highest level they are all there. Alvaro Bautista took the lead in the World Superbike championship at Assen, but Toprak Razgatlioglu is only six points behind the two-time world champion. Nicolò Bulega ‘sees’ the duelists at -14 and in his home race on the Misano circuit he is ready to compete. The combined ranking of Friday’s free practice sees the BMW rider ahead of the Ducati Factory duo and today in Qualifying and Race-1 there will be the first comparison between the three without underestimating potential outsiders such as the other Italian riders such as Andrea Locatelli and Andrea Iannone .
“We also did an intense job testing the new Pirelli tires but we didn’t find any particular benefits from them – has explained Alvaro Bautista – in the afternoon we returned to the track with our certainties and the sensations were very good. We must continue on this path.”
“I’m satisfied with this Friday also because, compared to FP1, the feeling with the bike improved a lot in the afternoon. For this reason I want to thank the team who put me in a position to improve, especially in the braking phase“, the analysis of Nicolò Bulega. There is also the wild card on the track Michele Pirro, who due to the new regulation relating to concessions in MotoGP cannot participate in the home events of the MotoGP. The Ducati test rider has the opportunity this weekend to compete in the Superbike World Championship. Pirro concluded free practice in 16th position: “First of all, I’m happy to be back in Superbike after a few years. I tried to work to find the feeling given that I have always lapped a lot on this track but practically only with the Desmosedici GP. I hope I can take a further step” Pirro’s words.
