The other 'new' purchase
There presentation of the Gresini teamorganized in great style at the Cocoricò in Riccione, finally gave a sense of 'reality' to the great transfer of the transfer market last winter: the Marc Marquez's transition from Honda to the great Ducati family. But the Borgo Panigale company will also be able to count on another great 'acquisition' in the 2024 World Championship, who will finally return to full service after a season spent largely in the infirmary: Enea Bastianini.
The rider from Rimini on the eve of last year was referred to as the main rival of Pecco Bagnaia on the road to a second world championship. However, the injury suffered in Portimao in the first match of the year immediately cut him out of action. His hope is that the new season goes differently. Certainly, although Bagnaia's status in the team has been further increased by the second title, the Beast wants to be seen at the top of the table.
An armchair for four
In addition to #1, however, there are old and new opponents: Jorge Martin, ready to do everything to steal Bastianini's seat in the official team, and obviously Marc Marquez, making his debut in Ducati after the sensational coup scored by Nadia Padovani. This, according to Bastianini, will be the poker of favorites for the title: “I'll name four – explained the Ducati rider during a long interview with the newspaper The Republic – Marc Marquez, Bagnaia, Martin, Bastianini. I also see Di Giannantonio well: maybe not for the title, certainly for some races, Binder, Bezzecchi“.
In what promises to be theyet another 'Ducati Cup' – a constant in the last years of MotoGP – the key to getting the better of rivals will be the ability to perform throughout the infinite season that awaits the protagonists of the premier class: “Whoever gets on the podium the most times will win – underlined Bastianini – 44 races is a lot, you have to stay in front and make few mistakes. Don't get hurt, above all. Bagnaia, with consistency, has already shown that he can do better than Martin's explosiveness“.
