Enea Bastianini has not yet sorted everything out in her quest to be a key player over the course of an entire season. If the Gresini Ducati rider has undeniable talent as his two victories this year after five contested races attest, but he lacks the mastery of this particular exercise that is qualifying. In this Spanish Grand Prix, he had accomplished half of the right path by entering directly into Q2, but unfortunately, at the fateful moment, he made a mistake. An unfortunate accident, because he didn't understand the causes, which is never good for a pilot's mentality...
Enea Bastianini will start 11th in this sixth round of the MotoGP championship organized in Jerez, just behind his direct rival on the transfer market, George Martin. The protégé of Carlo Pernat crashed for the second time in a row during a MotoGP qualifying session. The Gresini Racing Team Ducati rider does not hide his disappointment when it comes time to take stock: “ It's not good », sighs the double winner of the season. “ We entered Q2 in the morning, but the feeling of the bike was not the best. We saw it yesterday ».
Enea Bastianini: “le pneu tendre atténue tout, mais avec le pneu médium montre la réalité"
« The soft tire mitigates everything, but with the medium tire shows the reality. I'm not satisfied, we didn't do a great job today and we still don't really understand what we should do », regrets the Italian 24 years. “ The drop in qualifying was unfavorable, otherwise we would certainly have done well "Adds bastianini. " I don't even know exactly what happened. I slipped on the front wheel trying to open the throttle. I was afraid of losing control because I had no feeling for the front and that's what happened. I need to understand the reason that prevents me from being able to pilot easily ».
The “Bestia” knows that progress is needed before the 25-lap race so that he can start to catch up: “ the warm-up will certainly be important because I would like to show a good race. Jerez is not an easy track either, but the race is long. But first, we're going to make sure we position ourselves correctly at the first turn. It is the most important » he finishes.
