WSBK Donington, Alvaro Bautista against all odds: “I think you are all happy since I did not win the three races”

Alvaro Bautista didn't win everything at Donington, but as neither he nor his Ducati had until then felt comfortable on this English track, the fact that he leaves with two victories in three races still knocked out the competition a little more. His march towards a second consecutive title becomes triumphant, but watch out for the next round in Misano where the Spaniard has some fears about safety...  

The driver of the Aruba.it Racing team Ducati won the Race 1, closed the race Super poles in second position, and won the Race 2 with the same authority as the first aforementioned. A journey that inspired this speech: “ I think you are all happy since I didn't win all three races ". An introduction that sets the tone… “ If they had told me I would come back from Donington with 2 wins and a second place I might have found it hard to believe. For this reason, I'm really happy for this weekend ».

Alvaro Bautista: “ we have to run in Imola even if it is dangerous »

He adds : " the feeling with the bike was once again fantastic. I don't look at the championship standings. I only think about the next race which is Imola ". On this deadline, he specifies: “ I raced at Imola in 2019 and it was not an easy track for me. It's definitely not one of the favorable tracks and one of the safest considering the walls next to the track. However, we must run and we will run even if it is dangerous. You will therefore have to be careful and go there just to have fun without waiting ».
