Superb Enea Bastianini conquers outstanding fourth in Valencia

An incredible Sunday of emotions for Italtrans Racing Team at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia, Spain, for the 13th and third last round of this 2020 season.

Great performance of Enea Bastianini, fourth and again leader of the standings. An incredible race for the Italian rider, who could have conquered the podium if he had not been “penalized” by an unlucky qualifying. Yesterday, in fact, the rain tyres didn’t allow him to lower his best time of 1’42”677 and without a mistake in the final lap he would surely caught the second row of the grid. Starting from the fifth one, in two laps Enea had already recovered 9 positions, passing from 15th to 6th thanks to an excellent start. He managed well the tyre drop a few laps from the checkered flag and with a constant pace under the 1’36” he finished 4th after overtaking Baldassarri. In this way he scored 13 important points and for the third time this season he is again leader of the standing, 6 points ahead the English Lowes, his main rival in the title fight.

I’m happy! I started well, trying to recover positions. I had a good pace and I thought I could take the first ones, but they also had a great pace. When Lowes crashed I tried to push a little bit more, but in the last laps I preferred to go back on my times and race safe. Very good because now I’m back first in the standings.
