Since he jumped to MotoGP in 2021 in the ranks of the former Andorran team Avintia as Moto2 champion, Enea Bastinini has one thing in mind about becoming an official Ducati rider. And after a first year with two podiums, the next he became a great asset to the Gresini family, whom he knew from his Moto3 stage, in his return to MotoGP today as a Ducati client team. And the explosion took place on a motorcycle from last year with four victories and six podiums and the internal battle with Jorge Martín to be promoted to the official Ducati team in 2023. And after two seasons wearing red he will change the scene in KTM Tech3 after losing the Ducatista nomination at the hands of Marc Márquez.
After his double at Silverstone which propelled him to third place in the 2024 championship, at the expense of Marc Márquez, ‘The Beast’ responded definitively to be asked what happened during the weekend of the Italian GP in Mugello when the white smoke favors Marc Márquez: “I don’t understand Ducati’s choice. They lost two riders like me and Jorge. But hey, I respect the decision,” he explained this Sunday at Silverstone
“The KTM will be a good bike for me, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’ve seen it many times on the track, but until I try it I can’t explain it better, if I will have stronger points compared to Ducati,” he claimed.
And he made it clear that even though he knew he was better outside than inside Ducati, he didn’t change his approach: “No, I didn’t change anything. that was the difference.”
And as long as he does not correct every Saturday he is fighting for the title: “At the moment, I do not consider myself a candidate for the title. Both Pecco and Jorge have shown more consistency. These two drivers is always there in front. Sometimes I have good feelings and Others I fall behind If I want to be a contender for the title, I have to improve in that sense and I have to be more consistent.
“Silverstone is a good starting point, I want to continue on this note in the second half of the season and if things continue, we will see what happens,” he said.
