Tenth, he worked to put his GP19 in this top 10 which had to be snatched at the end of a rodeo shared by all his other colleagues in a MotoGP who will have to discuss the state of the Texan track...

However, the images showed sectors that were still at the limit for a MotoGP and its rider. Enea Bastianini tells us what it looks like on the handlebars of his GP19: “ it is certainly a very difficult track » says 'Bestia'. “ In the rain in the morning, I just tried to be comfortable without pushing too much. I had a little pain in my shoulder because of the fall during the Misano tests ».

« In FP2, on the other hand, I fought a lot to keep the bike calm: iThere are really a lot of hollows on the asphalt, an incredible thing. The first time attack didn't go very well, so back in the pits we looked at the telemetry and settled in. The second was better, especially in the fast, I rode hard. Now I still need to improve in T2 and T3, the slowest sectors, and we need to understand why ».
