He also shared a key moment from his race, explaining: “ there was a moment where I was a little close to Marc, but then I had a big drop in pace. We are missing something because I can't be efficient when the tires wear out. » Enea Bastianini revealed that difficulties encountered with tire wear had compromised his racing efficiency: “ apart from the beginning, after a while it moves a lot in front and I understeer in the corners, I lose time, I can't stop well and I compromise the exit. »
The challenge for third place in the championship against Marquez is another crucial aspect for Bastianini. « I see it as difficult because Marc is strong and it will be complicated to fight with him, but I showed I could do it. I will try until the end. »
With his determination, Bastianini suggests that he has no intention of letting go. The fight for the podium and the championship remains open, and the driver of Ducati is ready to fight until the last race of the season before joining the clan KTM in 2025.
