Another 500 rev penalty coming....Was Bautista playing with them in FP?! Really seeing the difference between tier 2 MGP and WSBK
Had Rea not been mired in 8th on the grid, it clearly would have been different. More interested in how Bautista made the soft tyre work when the majority went for the medium which looked in better condition on Rea's bike in parc ferme. Sprint race to come. Andy
A little surprised Rea went for the medium tyre again in the second race having seen how the soft performed for Bautista in the first race. Great to see van de Marc mixing it but disappointing that none of the other V4 riders can match Bautista. Laverty after his positive showing last time out was dismal and the Barny racing duo have done nothing. Andy
He's riding superbly is AB Just watching how quickly he pulls the bike down, then taps the power on with the thing bucking all over the place, you can just tell he's got that 'class'. He's making the Ducati look good, not the other way around
It would have been really interesting to see what AB could have done on the twin. Master stroke signing AB it would appear
