MotoGP Enea Bastianini: “Marc Marquez is beatable”

It is with very high ambitions that Enea Bastianini, new Moto2 World Champion, is considering his rise to MotoGP. It will be within the Avintia team with a Ducati contract, and he will share the box with Luca Marini, also promoted, and who will also have a GP19. An outcome for Carlo Pernat's protégé? Nope. More of a step, and if Marc Marquez comes back, he will just have to watch out…

It is with solid self-confidence thatEnea Bastianini tackle the challenge MotoGP which will be his in 2021. It is said that the Italian generation is coming out of the VR46 academy, but he is the one who demonstrates that it is not quite right. bastianini arrived there by other means, and even alone, to find himself with this title of Moto2 World Champion, a coronation that has always eluded him in Moto3, making him the one who didn't keep his promises...

But since Portimao and this consecration, everything changed. bastianini is another man, with a mind apparently of steel. During an interview, the 23-year-old driver was blunt when asked how he would see his future among the elite.

Enea Bastianini has no doubts

First, he addressed the issue of the VR46 academy and Valentino Rossi. Do you have to be out of the ranch to assert yourself as the Doctor's successor? He cuts it short: “ I hope I'll be the one person to take on Rossi's legacy » he says without batting an eyelid. But the sequel isn’t bad either: “ Marc Marquez is very strong, but beatable » he added with the same confidence. As for its adaptation to a MotoGP, it doesn’t get any more complicated than that: “ They say you have to get used to electronics, but after all, motorcycles all have two wheels ».

bastianini is therefore not inhabited by doubt. The euphoria of a newly acquired crown? Time will tell…
