After the brilliant debut in Qatar with a first and a fifth place, Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini will try to confirm themselves in the top areas of the standings on the Portimao circuit, which evokes diametrically opposite memories for the two official Ducati centaurs, sinceè the Piedmontese, last season, won Sprint Race and Gp, while the Rimini è was the protagonist of a bad fall that has conditioned in negative the performance of the former Gresini in the continuation of the championship because of the scapula injury.
To the team's official channels, the No. 23 expressed himself in no uncertain terms ahead of the Portuguese GP: "I am happy to return to Portimao for the first European race of the season. It's a very special track and at the end of January we trained here with the Panigale V4S. I have a score to settle with this circuit, as last year I could not race because of the injury I suffered after the accident in the Sprint Race and this year I have every intention of taking revenge. The first Gp of the season in Qatar è went well, but honestly I expected to get something more. I will tryò to redeem myself this weekend" these are the words of Enea Bastianini.
In addition to the 1997 class rider, to the official channels of the team, he è expressed himself also Pecco Bagnaia, who è dwelt on his chances è to repeat the success obtained in Qatar: "I am happy to return to race in Portugal. Portimao è a track I really like and where we have always been fast in the past. Last year we won both Sprint Race and Sunday GP. We have the potential to do well again this season, but it won't be easy because there will be many opponents vying for victory and a very fierce competition. In any case, we are ready. We will work as always from Friday to try to arrive as ready as possible for the races".
