It didn't all start so badly for Enea Bastianini in a Moto2 season in Qatar. But the coronavirus has decreed an immediate ceasefire with no clear prospect of when we will be able to resume shooting. The Italtrans driver therefore remains on his podium at Losail, which inevitably gave him appetite and confidence. In this regard, he launched into subjects as sensitive as Valentino Rossi and Marc Márquez in MotoGP, and here is his opinion…
Enea Bastianini is one of the recognized protagonists in Grand Prix. However, his rise, although real, is not meteoric. The fact remains that he is one of those who could, in the long term, claim a place in MotoGP. A talent that does not leave you indifferent Valentino Rossi, even if he never wore the colors of the VR46 Academy. As reported by “Tuttosport”, bastianini explained the reasons for this situation: “ at the time, Gresini believed in me and it seemed to me that it was the right path. I am still grateful to him today. Then, personally, I always wanted to do it alone. Of course, Vale's help would have been huge. Anyway, sometimes I go to the Ranch. »
The Italian driver then continued: “ there are a lot of fast drivers this year. There is Baldassarri, Lüthi, Marini. I always applauded Valentino, but I also really admired Stoner. Casey had a great driving style. Vale, on the other hand, has extraordinary determination and desire to achieve. I try to study the strengths and weaknesses of both and draw inspiration from them. »
A favorable a priori which is however not granted to Marc Márquez : " Marc is a great driver, but I don't think much of him from a sporting point of view. To me it's over the top and too many times he's on the edge with everyone. He's the magician of rescues, but without being a braggart, I did it once too. The heavier the bike, the easier it is. » This is what is called having the courage of one's opinions...
