In Japan weekend, Enea Bastianini he was obviously affected by a bad qualifying in the wet, which cost him the start from the fifth row of the grid. In the race, the Italian recovered from fifteenth to ninth final position, finishing just behind the world leader Fabio Quartararo and thus seeing the gap from the top rise to 49 points. The Rimini rider hopes to return to battle for the podium in Buriram, on a track that has not given him great joys in the past, given that in Moto2 he can only count an 11th place in 2019 and a retirement in the previous season. Below are the statements by the Ducati rider Gresini released during the Buriram press conference.
Ninth in Japan. “Last week it was difficult. I made a mistake on Friday and then it was difficult. On Saturday it was completely wet and I crashed in Turn 5. But this is another circuit, the conditions are similar to Motegi and it will be like this all weekend. But we are ready to do better than Motegi. “
Newcomer in Buriram with MotoGP. “It will be the first time for me, but I don’t think it will be difficult to understand the track. There will be more practice sessions than in Motegi, because the one session there made everything more difficult. We will give our best and we will see. “
The qualifications. “In MotoGP the bikes are very close and very similar and in Motegi I, Fabio and Pecco had the same pace throughout the race and it was impossible to pass. I think it will be more and more difficult from this point of view. “
-49 from the leader. “Nothing changes for me. I’m not that close to Fabio, I have to do what I’ve always done, push in every session and do my best. Then we will see where we are in the standings in the last race, this is the only pressure I have. “
Wet tires. “Sometimes we found a lot of water on the asphalt and it is a problem for everyone. Changes have to be made to adapt, at Motegi I was very close to other riders and my visibility was very poor. This is dangerous, we’ll see what happens in the race. If it is very wet it will be dangerous. My feeling with the Michelins is good. “
Tattoos. “I don’t understand, Canet is really fast. I understand that the image can be important, he is full of tattoos and he is a good person and this situation is really strange. Something should be done in the future, having a good driver should be the priority. “
