Just realised, NB has very little experience of Michelin tyres. Makes his first outing even more remarkable. Andy
“Bulega into the 39s, a 1:39.484 is now faster by about 0.3s than his best race lap from the WSBK weekend in March.”
Feeling sorry for Fabio. The Yamaha is not only short of top end, but looks out of shape on this track.
That’s the first time I can recall this season where Peccos had a shit first session and not gone backwards for the rest of the weekend Bulega ends the day within a second of 73 Marini with his first off of the season?!
Btw, when I said I feel sorry for Fabio, got to keep things in perspective. Recieving a bloody huge pay check to ride the least competitive bike on the grid. His choice. I do wonder if he will regret it in years to come. Already more money than most folks make in a lifetime. Will that be enough when he is older though?… I hope he jumps ship soon..
