The Italian Enea “The Beast” Bastianini (Ducati Desmosedici GP21), after finishing second in the Sepang race, assured that “I know I have to be careful because for Ducati the title is importantbut I also want to win the race.
There was a time for Bastianini when they put the name “Pecco” on his board. “I saw the board on that lap, but it didn’t matter in my race, I just know that I have to be careful because the title is important for Ducati, but I also want to win the race and if it’s mine, I want to attack him, but always carefully. I think ‘Pecco’ will be fast in Valencia and he can win the championship and I will try to finish third.”
About the race, he said: “My start was not the best, but it was not bad; Jorge -Martín- came out very strong and it was impossible to catch him, but when he fell I understood that it could be my time. in the attack, I overtook Pecco at the four corners and tried to manage the tires in the best possible way”.
“But something changed in the front tire and I couldn’t come out strong in the corners, so after three laps Pecco passed me again and I tried to stay close to him and in the last lap it was impossible to attack him, I was so hooked on him, but it is difficult to catch him in the last sector. I tried it at turn 9 on the inside but it was too hard on the inside so I tried it on the outside and ended up losing time and my options“, lamented Bastianini, who pointed out that he slips out of the slipstream on the straights “because the front tire got hot”.
