The official Ducati team rider also showed at COTA that he can be very competitive in the second half of the race, a skill he has demonstrated in a fantastic 2022 with the Gresini team.. “I also plan to do the first part of the race well.. but the desire to immediately take the lead made things a bit unsettling, because I lost positions a little bit with the front of the bike, but the second half of the race is always my favorite and the part where I can express myself 100%.. I’m back to my old self again.. I am. want to win, we can be happy. Maverick is stronger. I didn’t expect to be able to fight for the podium, let’s say my usual feeling is back,” he told Sky Sport MotoGP media.
Bastianini is satisfied with his start to the season, but he knows that he still lacks something to be at the top and also fight for wins, something that might open up his chances for sure… ” We worked very well at the start of the year, we did the right things and our base is good to do well everywhere I still lack a bit of explosiveness, I will try to fill it as soon as possible. Especially in the sprint, I struggle a little more than the others.”
Enea reiterated how the Desmosedici GP24 helped him compared to the GP23.. “The way the bike works when entering corners. The engine and also the chassis have been revised a little, all this helps me to be able to hold the brakes better. With the 2023 bike I can’t do that, one of my advantages has been lost. In 2024 we are back on track, although we can still do more. The base is there, I’m happy.”
