From the podium to the gravel
It ends with one fall the Indonesian Sunday of Enea Bastianiniwho misses an opportunity to conquer another podium this season and still remain in contention in the world championship race. Today’s crash, however, cuts him off almost definitively from the battle to win the championship. It’s a shame because the Ducati Beast, after a difficult start to the race, was widely fighting for a podium placement and the final second place could have been played with Pedro Acosta.
“Unfortunately I had to compensate for the first part of the race which didn’t go as I hoped – explained Bastianini to the microphones of Sky Sports MotoGP – I couldn’t push, as soon as I hit the gas I lost the bike at the back and so it took me a long time to get the tire up to temperature and I still don’t know why. Unfortunately that’s how it went.”. A problem, that of temperatures, which was also confirmed inanalysis by Pecco Bagnaia.
Final push
“In the end I was able to go fast and I started pushing, but I pushed a little too much – added the winner of Misano-2 – Unfortunately that’s how it went, I made a mistake. The target was Martin – admitted #23 – but that doesn’t mean I would have been able to catch it if I had remained standing. Surely I could get closer and I think that with Pedro we would have had a good fight in the final laps. Jorge would have been a less realistic goal, but he did well. It was worth a try. Now we go home with a handful of flies in our hands. Japan? I haven’t been back there for two years, but it’s a track I like and there are a lot of strong brakings. It will be interesting to go there to understand what it’s like with the new bike“, he concluded.
