The big guy got his first SBK podium in race 2. Top 5 in all three races over the weekend.

I like Bautista. Not pretentious at all. Petrucci is also even more likeable and I loved seeing him score high this round [thumbsup]
I like Alvaro too. He dragged Petrucci to a front row start, which is why Danilo finished so well this weekend, and he seemed happy to do it.
Seem like a couple good blokes [beer]
There's a possibility they'll be team mates next year. Alvaro has signed for one more year. After that he's said he wants to retire to spend time with his family. Rinaldi hasn't produced, and Bassani is inconsistent.
If Petrux can become consistent on the Panigale, he might just get a factory seat.
If the big fella wants all in, it would be great to see him at that level again.
Only caught a glimpse during the race, and when they don’t show replays or closeup cameras at the crash site, you know it’s not good.
