Ducati-Bastianini, fall doesn’t ruin debut: “Red suits me”

Enea Bastianini enjoyed his first day as Ducati factory rider

First day as official Ducati rider for Enea Bastianini, who in the MotoGp tests in Valencia tried for the first time the bike with which he will race in 2023. At the end of the tests (with a fall without consequences in the afternoon), the Rimini-born rider recounted his debut in the factory team: “Obviously when you go to a new environment you feel in awe, but then you loosen up and already in the afternoon I was more relaxed. In general it was very exciting, the biggest difference was the presence of so many people listening to you and looking forward to hearing your comments. There was a good understanding between us right away, red is a beautiful color and it looks good on me….”

First feelings about GP23: “It went very well, we started off on the right foot. Too bad about the crash in the last run, but it was good. Something worked, something didn’t. We got to work on it for next year, but I liked the new bike, and I had fun lining up fast laps, I was precise in my riding.”
