Two-time WorldSBK champion Alvaro Bautista says MotoGP has become more difficult to control the bike than when he was a full-time rider in the series.
In 2023, Bautista became the WorldSBK champion for the second time in a row, winning an impressive 27 races. However, his wildcard performance at the Malaysian grand prix was affected by an injury, and he couldn’t deliver the expected results despite it being his first appearance since 2018. Bautista noticed significant differences between MotoGP and Superbike, with the aerodynamics making the latter more challenging to control compared to the former, where he had more options. While he enjoys the freedom to control the situation in WorldSBK, Bautista believes that MotoGP is where the highest level of racing exists, with the riders being closer to each other and the bikes at a very high level of performance.
