For now, we cannot say that the rumor he started was not verified in fact. Indeed, Carlo Pernat had warned that Enea Bastianini had found a gateway to MotoGP. And that she would take him to the Avintia box. That being said, he was well placed to know it since he is the rider's manager... And then there is a detail that he had not really formulated and which is not one: Bastianini has a Ducati contract …
There will definitely be a pilot from Moto2 who will be in MotoGP in 2021. A rise in rank that the current pandemic had marked in dotted lines for a generation currently in the intermediate class of Grands Prix. If he were to have one, the predictions so far favored George Martin. Then the confinement ended, the season continued and the Spaniard is now isolated because he tested positive for Coronavirus…
His case will therefore wait. But that ofEnea Bastianini is set. He will be an Avintia Ducati rider in 2021. Well, at least 99% according to Reuben Xaus who, on the other hand, is 100% convinced of losing his current driver who is none other than Johann zarco. The latter will go to Pramac, or even better, to the official Borgo Panigale team.
A Ducati contract
Why this 1% margin? Because bastianini does not have an agreement with Avintia. But with Ducati, who will therefore place it wherever he wants… “ I signed with Ducati for next year and it is a completion of my growth path and a unique opportunity that very few have » announced the current Italtrans rider in the running for the Moto2 title at stake.
« The pleasure is still the same, but it's another step and I'm happy for this opportunity that I'll try to make the most of: I have to thank a lot of people, from my family, to the mechanics, to my manager Carlo Pernat for helping me in this area » concludes the Italian who is now completely freed to concentrate entirely on his quest for the supreme crown against Luca marini and… George Martin.
