Enea Bastianini has made it clear several times to Ducati and Pecco Bagnaia: in this championship he has his own priority. It is financial, in the form of a substantial bonus if he finishes among the first three in the general classification. Before the end of Valencia, the last Grand Prix of the season, he is only one point away from this last step of the podium to which Aleix Espargaró, the Aprilia official, is still clinging, and for only a small point. The “Bestia” will also experience his last race in Gresini colors that he has always cherished and he will therefore be keen to end this period with a fifth success this year…
An ambition which this time should not upset the Ducati staff, since if Enea Bastianini thus achieves his ends, he will deprive Fabio Quartararo of the 25 points he absolutely needs to avoid ceding his crown to Pecco Bagnaia, the official brand of Borgo Panigale. The protégé of Charles Pernat has been on the rise since his arrival in MotoGP he only two seasons ago. The first was experienced within an Avintia team where he only had a GP19 which he still wore twice on the podium.
Enea Bastianini: “it will be my last race with the Gresini team, I will try to celebrate it in the best way”

A revelation, with four victories so far and two podiums, a performance convincing enough to open the doors to the official team for the years 2023 and 2024... All while showing character against his future teammate Pecco Bagnaia who is still playing for the championship, since the driver of 24 years deprived him of victory in Aragon. If this had not been the case, the Piedmontese would already be crowned, having then lost five points while he is still missing two before this meeting in Valencia, to close the debates...
One last thingEnea Bastianini addresses as follows: “ this will be my last race with the Gresini team. I will try to celebrate it in the best way. It will certainly be a complicated race with many competitive drivers », declares the teammate of Fabio Di Giannantonio au last enigmatic message on his social network. " We are in good shape and we know our potential. We will do everything to do well and finish in the top 3 of the world championship » » he finishes.
