Carlo Pernat, in statements according to Motosa.es, spoke about the future of Enea Bastianini and emphasized that the priority of the Italian rider is to stay in the factory team. The Italian agent also talked about Marc Márquez’s arrival in the Ducati ranks and how it destabilized the management of Ducati riders.
– The priority is to stay with the factory team, everything else will be seen. Going to Pramac with a factory bike may be a possibility, but it is not certain. Speaking as an agent, there are sirens from Aprilia, KTM and even Yamaha. I do not hide that Aprilia has important aspects, it would be the combination of the Italian rider and a competitive bike, I am negotiating with them and with others. Whatever happens, Enea may find a place in an official team.
Regarding Márquez’s arrival, Pernat said: ‘I always said that Marquez’s arrival at Ducati would disrupt the balance after having pursued a youth policy and winning. Now it’s difficult what to do, they created this problem for themselves.’
