Little by little Bastianini is making his nest at Ducati and at the same time in MotoGP. He certainly doesn't make as much noise as Jorge Martin in Doha or even Marini during testing in Portugal, but he's the one who leads the way among the rookies. He is already in the top 10 of the championship thanks to his racing efficiency which gives him legitimacy. That being said, he would like to be in the leading group from the start of the meeting and that is what he will try to do in Jerez this Friday…
Enea Bastianini will it be revealed before the race of a Spanish Grand Prix which will mark the fourth stage of this season in MotoGP ? During the last three events, in fact, we had to wait until Sunday to see the World Champion of Moto2 in title at the forefront. Not without a certain panache. Thus, during the last performance at Portimao, he qualified 16th before losing two more places after the start to finally move up to ninth place with his GP19.
The pilot Avintia which will leave its place to the colors VR46 in 2022 would like to do better. He says this about his reunion with a route of Jerez that he dominated during the Andalusian Grand Prix last year in Moto2: “ Jerez is a track that I really like ", declared the Italian from 23 years. “ We are all very fast there, so it will be even more difficult to be at the front. Our goal is to achieve a good lap time in qualifying. My goal is to work on it ».
Bastianini: “my goal for Jerez is to be fast from day one”
« I am very happy with the work we did in Portimão. We were a little late on the starting grid, but ultimately we managed to be competitive in the race. My goal for Jerez is to be fast from day one ».
The sports director of Esponsorama, Reuben Xaus, adds: “ we showed our competitiveness in the race, but in this category it is essential to be in the lead from the start. The drivers have particularly good benchmarks at Jerez, they know the circuit very well from the small categories. We will have to quickly find a set-up so that we can then concentrate on understanding the tires and finding the feeling of pushing the bike to the limit. ».
