Enea Bastianini is at the end of his contract with Ducati in MotoGP and his place is highly coveted – especially by Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati) and Marc Márquez (Gresini/Ducati), who are performing strongly in satellite teams.
Therefore, the Italian will have to prove very well that he deserves a new vote of confidence to stay in the Borgo Panigale team. On the other hand, letting go of riders like Martín or Márquez is difficult for any manufacturer.
Thus, Bastianini may even end up without a place in Ducati – at least in the factory team. However, this does not mean that he cannot continue in the premier class and with an official team.
Aprilia likes the Italian rider and admitted that he may be considered. But what does Bastianini think about representing the Noale manufacturer? The answer came in a press conference in Barcelona.
The #23 stated: ‘It could be an option for the future. It is a good manufacturer, it has progressed a lot in the last five years, and it could be a good option. But let’s see, we have to wait a bit‘.
