June 28, 2021/in News

Enea Bastianini, who started 19th, set a good pace that allowed him to move up positions and cross the finish line in the top 15. The Italian rider adds one more point, placing him in 16th position in the overall standings.

“It was a good race, but I spent a lot of energy, and it was hard to get to the end. In the early stages I lost some time, but when I relaxed and let go, I felt more comfortable. We didn’t have a bad race, we probably need to improve a bit to find the limit of this bike. Now we have a few weeks to rest and to train because MotoGP is very tiring, both physically and mentally.”

Enea Bastianini made a great comeback after starting from 17th position in qualifying. The Italian was able to cross the finish line in a well-deserved and hard-earned 10th place.

It was a good race and I enjoyed it. I tried to cut as much time as possible to the riders in front and I’m happy with the position, but a little bit less so because of the gap to the first. I suffered a lot under braking and today I didn’t feel 100%. Fortunately, tomorrow we have a test here where we can work and prepare for the next race and maybe get the confidence I lost with the crash on Saturday

A very strange race. In the dry we were going quite well I was happy on the first lap I was increasing the pace, then it started to rain and I went off the track before the bike change and I lost a lot of time and I entered very late to change the bike. After the first lap with the water tires, I couldn’t get the tires to warm up, but when the water decreased it was much better and at the end it was very strong like the first 5. we will do better.

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.
