This weekend, on a Misano track that he loves, Enea Bastianini will approach the San Marino Grand Prix with a very different state of mind from that which was his during the previous 13 rounds of this season. Because he has finally reached his goal by signing a two-year contract to be a rider within the Ducati factory. A red outcome that makes life look rosy. The Italian will be a customer at this circuit and it will be interesting to see if he will look for a fourth victory this year or if he will want to do everything to help his future teammate Pecco Bagnaia in the title race...
This story remains to be written for “Bestia” and it will inevitably impact a fabio quartararo on his Yamaha, still leader of the championnat. The Italian comes out of a disappointment in Austria with a retirement caused by a broken rim, but the hours that followed, with this announcement giving him a red suit instead of Jorge Martin has already made us forget this white result. The data of bastianini in Misano speak for themselves: last year he obtained two podiums with a GP19 in the double round that was organized there, a victory and a second place in Moto3 (2015 and 2016 as Gresini rider), and also a victory in Moto2 in 2020.
Enea Bastianini: “ I don't know if we can fight for victory, there are a lot of very fast drivers on this track, especially among the Italians »
« I don't know if we can fight for victory at Misano, there are a lot of very fast drivers on this track, especially among the Italians » announces the protégé of Charles Pernat. " Obviously we will try. It's undeniable that it's one of my favorite circuits and we really want to cancel Spielberg's bad Sunday He adds.
His teammate Fabio DiGiannantonio he will also want to be part of it. After excellent performances in free practice and qualifying, he dreams of the first podium in MotoGP. “Misano is Misano, a different and special weekend. It's a crazy track and the home cheer is always incredible. There are many events, there will be a special helmet… generally a lot of positive energy in the air. We come from a positive result in Austria with 11th place, and we just have to continue like this, perhaps giving a bit of a show to those who come to support us ».
