The MotoGP season kicks off in Qatar, a circuit with fond memories for Enea Bastianini. The rider is entering his second year with Ducati and, after a 2023 heavily marked by injuries, he is now looking to contend for the title.
The Italian emphasized his enthusiasm and confidence after the pre-season tests and the fact that it is the scene of his first victory in the premier class. However, he also acknowledged that conditions will be different, and there is work to be done:
– Finally, we’re back on track for the first race of the season, and I’m thrilled to start in Qatar, where I secured my first MotoGP victory in 2022. In the last pre-season tests at Lusail, we were fast and competitive, so the conditions are favorable for a strong performance. However, the race weekend conditions will differ from testing, so we need to stay grounded. We’ll work hard from the first round to kick off this 2024 season on the right note.
