At the iconic Phillip Island circuit in Australia, Bautista crashes after a great recovery but keeps charging to take one point.
Alvaro made an extraordinary start from ninth position.
At the first corner, he was already second and stayed with the leading group until lap 5 when he crashed at Turn 10 due to an unexpected front-end lock.
The Spanish rider didn’t give up, he got back on track and brought home at least 1 point for the classification.

“It’s a shame. Despite a not excellent superpole, I got a very good start. Maybe it was the best start of my career. The feeling was good and I was convinced I could stay with the leading group. Unfortunately, I crashed but I made the most of the rest of the race, to prepare myself for tomorrow”.
