Bad times for veterans! If one is under 20 years old. But we must recognize that this Moto3 season is turning sour for the revelations of the last two years. Although they had been designated favorites, they were stolen by young people or outsiders. And when it's not bad luck or falls, it's injuries that get involved.
Take the case ofEnea Bastianini. Not long ago, he represented the Italian generation with Gresini to the detriment of the VR46 team. Since then, things have changed a lot. The third in the championship last year is currently only seventh after four Grands Prix contested with only a fifth place as his best result. Here he is at the head of a modest capital of 29 points, while the provisional general leader claims 77.
So it's time to bastianini to raise the bar and the next French Grand Prix may be the opportunity to seize. Last year, at Le Mans, the Italian started eighteenth to finish second. Yes but no. The native of Rimini has just broken his right wrist during training with a motocross bike.
After a consultation with Dr. Michele Zasa of the Mobile Clinic, it was decided to undergo surgery, an operation that took place this afternoon at the Rimini hospital by Dr. Giannicola Lucidi. The fracture was reduced and a plate inserted. Concerning its participation in Sarthe, nothing has yet been decided, but it is clear that bastianini does not envisage the fifth meeting of the year at the top of his form.
