Ducati, Bastianini sheds light on relationship with Bagnaia

Ducati, Bastianini outspoken on Bagnaia: “On the track we will be the first rivals, but our relationship is good”

A few days before the start of the new MotoGP season, the new Ducati rider spoke about his feelings ahead of the first race and his relationship with his teammate Bagnaia.

“The first thing not to underestimate will be the tires, sometimes we will make different choices than in the race. The approach will be different and we will need to attack from the start. The dry lap is Pecco’s strong point, so he starts with a bit of an advantage over me, but this will certainly not be the one to ruin our relationship. On the track we will respectively be the first rivals since we race for the same team, but this will not ruin our bond,” began the Rimini rider as can be read on “Corsedimoto.”

“I think the factory teams are all very competitive, but the gap with the satellite teams has also narrowed considerably. The details will be crucial, as there will be many bikes in a few thousandths. We will have to be very careful, but it will also be equally important to try to have fun on the track,” Bastianini concluded.
