This is what we call putting our feet in the ground and this kind of frontal advance can only come from a Carlo Pernat to whom we don't do it. Especially when it comes to money. We will remember that the manager of Enea Bastianini never let go of Ducati regarding the bonus promised to be paid for a place on the final podium in the general classification. This time, he charges with saber drawn against the sprint races. Not on their principle or their progress, but on the fact that no one, from Dorna to the teams, planned bonuses for their arrival.

A perspective that seems extraordinary, but Charles Pernat sees it rather as a threat that it would be wrong to take lightly.
Public chat Motosan, we read his words as follows: “ after three races, the drivers will go crazy. For now there are no racing bonuses in the contracts and if they don't give them to us, I don't think we'll run » Absolutely… It almost seems like a notice. And here are the demands: “ we have already agreed them with Albert Valera and Giovanni Balestra. Since there are half the points, we want half the bonuses ". And he ends: “ with the sponsors we have already included the Sprint Race bonuses in the contract ". To be continued…
