From the Belfast News Letter of March 23 1738, which was the âlastâ News Letter of the year under the old calendar, in which the new year, 1739, began on March 25. The date is equivalent to April 3 1739 in the modern calendar, because we would consider all of March to be in 1739, and because of an 11-day time lag between the calendars:
Unstoppable Alvaro Bautista was in seventh heaven as the Ducati rider once again blitzed his rivals to extend his lead in the World Superbike Championship over Jonathan Rea.
