PORTUGUESE ROUND | PREVIEW

PORTUGUESE ROUND | SATURDAY
August 10, 2024
Free practice for the Pirelli Portuguese Round ended with second place for Alvaro Bautista.
It was a very special Friday, especially given the unusual timetable for the seventh round of the 2024 WorldSBK season.
After the usual work focused on bike set-up and tyre choice, Alvaro Bautista – despite a crash with no consequences on the final lap – found a good feeling in the afternoon, finishing in second place just 23 thousandths of a second behind Petrucci (Ducati).

“We did a good job today, trying many solutions ahead of the race and finding a good feeling as we did at Most. I am sorry for the crash, but fortunately, there were no consequences except for an abrasion on my arm.“
