UK ROUND SUPERPOLE RACE & RACE 2
July 17, 2022
A difficult Saturday concludes for the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team at Donington Park. Race1 of the Prosecco DOC UK Round saw Alvaro Bautista suffered his first crash of the season.
The Spanish rider got off well from the fifth position, and already in the first lap, he joined the group fighting for the podium, engaging in a spectacular duel for second with Rea (Kawasaki). With seven laps to go, Bautista managed to take a little margin, but at turn 12, he lost the front and crashed.

“I am very sorry for the crash, but I have to say that it was a sudden thing. The feeling was good, and I wasn’t on the limit. Unfortunately, I also made a small mistake because of the many circuit bumps, especially in that corner. These things can happen, but certainly, this fall doesn’t change my approach and doesn’t dent our confidence ahead of tomorrow’s races“.
