EMILIA ROMAGNA ROUND
FREE PRACTICES

The first day of action at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli ended with Alvaro Bautista in first position.

After an FP1 that wasn’t particularly indicative due to the bad weather conditions, the sun returned to shine before FP2, allowing the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team rider to work consistently on his Ducati Panigale V4R machines.

Bautista notched up the first position with a time of 1’34.008, 117 thousandths of a second ahead of Razgatlioglu (Yamaha).

Alvaro Bautista #19  

“We started with some difficulties because of the weather conditions that did not help us this morning. In the afternoon, with the higher temperatures, I managed to regain that good feeling that I had had during the tests. We worked on the tire selection ahead of tomorrow’s race. I think this will be a really important choice that will determine Race-1 results. However, the feelings are very positive“.
