Alvaro Bautista<\/a> said: \u201cThe first thing I thought when I signed with Barni, after having all the support from Ducati, I thought \u2018Okay, Martin won the MotoGP that I think is even harder, why not to win a title with Barni?\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cI always say that everything happens for [a] reason and maybe […] if I win the title it\u2019s even more important to do it in a satellite team. Let\u2019s see.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment, there is a lot of work to do because also the new bike has a lot of work ahead in the project, so let\u2019s see.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut for sure it\u2019s one point of motivation to win races and also to fight for the title with Barni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Bautista is dreaming of fighting for the title in 2026, he says he has no concrete expectations considering how much will be new for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI prefer to not have any expectation or any goal because there will be many things new: the bike, the team, the people who I work with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, about the result it\u2019s impossible to make a goal, also because many riders are coming to the category, other riders changed manufacturers. So, basically, to make a goal or to decide a goal right now is almost impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, for me, the important thing is to enjoy the process, the work with the new team, try to work with the new people, try to learn about the way of working in another team, try to develop the bike, try to find as soon as possible the way to ride this new bike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter that, let\u2019s see how is going the things and let\u2019s see the result. But, at the moment,\u00a0 I don\u2019t have any goal in my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two-time WorldSBK Champion Alvaro Bautista is hoping to be in contention for a third crown in 2026, despite…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[8074,64,63,6908,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-297709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-alvaro-bautista","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-barni-spark-racing-team","12":"tag-motor","13":"tag-motor-sports","14":"tag-motosport","15":"tag-motosports","16":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
