P1racenews AI automatic summary:
MotoGP title contenders Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia believe Alvaro Bautista can deliver a surprise performance on his return to Grand Prix racing.
“The two-time WorldSBK champion, Alvaro Bautista, will make a wildcard appearance in MotoGP for the first time since 2018 at the Malaysian round this weekend. Despite his success in WorldSBK, Bautista will face a tough challenge in MotoGP, which is known to be significantly more competitive. Although he had a fast performance during a private test with the factory Ducati at Misano earlier this year, Bautista has limited experience with current MotoGP machinery. His fellow MotoGP riders, including Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, believe that achieving top ten results would be a great achievement for Bautista, but they emphasize the need to wait and see how he performs in the race.”
