Enea Bastianini’s adventure with GASGAS Tech3 had a complicated chapter already today in Barcelona, with the ex-Ducati Lenovo Team rider crashing at turn 5, and if the rider fortunately came out unscathed the same cannot be said of his KTM RC16 which was visibly torn to pieces.
The Italian lost control at turn 5 of the Catalan circuit and crashed but got up immediately, but in brief broadcast footage it was possible to see his new bike for 2025 in pieces.
The tests were then interrupted by a red flag so that the asphalt could be cleaned.
A close look at @Bestia23's nasty crash 💥
