Enea Bastianini reached pole position and second place in the Portuguese MotoGP, now arriving at the Americas GP in third place in the championship – ahead of his Ducati teammate, Francesco Bagnaia. And this is a track where he already knows what it’s like to win.
The rider started by recalling: ‘I’m excited to be back in America, where I didn’t compete last year due to a shoulder injury. COTA is a track that I deeply enjoy, and it holds fond memories of 2022, when I achieved my second MotoGP victory, my favorite of that year‘.
Following a strong result in Portimão, Bastianini arrives at the Americas GP feeling prepared to face a round with strong opponents:
– After the performance in Portugal, I arrive in Austin feeling motivated and confident. I anticipate a fierce GP, but we are well prepared: we have a solid base setup and a clear understanding of areas to improve, so we are determined to fight at the front again this weekend.
