Alvaro Bautista says expectations placed upon him for this weekend’s Malaysian MotoGP will be the ‘biggest challenge’.
After clinching his second Superbike title with victory in Race 1 of the season-finale at Jerez, Bautista's return to MotoGP action comes with very little pressure, despite high expectations being set by others.
“It’ll be important to find a good setup with the bike and to give my best. I think this will be the biggest challenge because we don’t have a lot of time, we have two Free Practices and there’s not too much time to get a good feeling. Bautista has already stepped onto the latest MotoGP machinery after conducting a private test at Misano earlier this year.Bautista was very quick and knows that Sepang provides a good opportunity given the long straights.
