CZECH ROUND | SUNDAY
July 21, 2024It was a complex Saturday for the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team at the Most (Czech Republic).
Alvaro Bautista first had to deal with a lacklustre qualifying session (P7) and then a three-position penalty that forced him to start from the fourth row.
The Spanish rider, however, was the protagonist of a solid comeback. However, many duels he won up to fourth place did not allow him to get close to the podium group.

Alvaro Bautista #1
RACE 1 P 4
“The fourth place is a good result in light of the starting position. I have to say, though, that the feeling with the bike was slightly less than I felt during free practice. I don’t know if losing the left wing due to contact with Petrucci (Ducati) at the first chicane had an effect but we’ll certainly have to study the data well to take a step forward tomorrow..”
