MotoGp, Enea Bastianini will also skip Austin

MotoGp, Michele Pirro will replace Enea Bastianini in the Austin GP

After Marc Marquez, Enea Bastianini will also miss the Grand Prix of the Americas. The rider from Rimini has not yet fully recovered from the fracture of the right scapula suffered in the Sprint Race of the Portimao Gp. In his place, riding the Ducati will be Michele Pirro.

“After running a few laps in Misano with the Panigale V4S, the Ducati Lenovo Team rider underwent a further check-up in Forlì at Dr. Porcellini’s office, who confirmed that Bastianini will need a few more weeks to fully recover from the right shoulder injury suffered in the Portuguese GP. Enea will continue his rehabilitation process with the goal of returning to the track in Jerez. In Texas, he will be replaced by Michele Pirro,” this is the team statement.

In addition, the rider himself wanted to confirm the team’s decision through his social profile: “I tried my best and believed in it until the end, but unfortunately the time available is too short. For this reason I will not fly to Austin, however, today I got back on the bike and I found my smile again,” these are the words of the centaur from Rimini.
