It didn’t take long Enea Bastianini to get to know the Ducati GP21, the bike he will have available in 2022. Even if it will not be the latest in the latest technical devilry studied by the volcanic mind of Luigi Dall’Igna, the world champion in the Moto2 class in 2020 has something to smile about: “Good first sensations. I’m happy with the bike and how the guys have already worked within the team. Let’s say it’s a little bit what I expected, a simpler, easier bike and above all from the first exit it seemed like my bike for some time. The times came easily, I ran on good times all day despite the wind. There will be work and problems will come, but at the moment we are happy. The bike is much calmer, and it goes much faster because it has more traction and is more stable. Compared to the GP19, which moved a lot, there is a bit of difference everywhere that at the end of the lap you can see it all by looking at the stopwatch ”.
Bastianini also dedicated two words to Fausto Gresini, the team manager who believed in him back in 2014 bringing him to Moto3 after an excellent season by the 1997 class in the Red Bull Rookies Cup where he obtained two victories: “It was nice to be with the whole team after a few years. Only Fausto was missing, but I’m sure that looking from up there as he said ‘his ass was smiling too’ “.
First day as a MotoGP rider instead for Fabio Di Giannantonio, who has everything to learn compared to his box mate, but couldn’t be happier: “The best day of my life. The bike is simply fantastic because there is everything I have always looked for in a bike, the type of braking, the distance, the feeling in the middle of the corner, the exit of the corner, the power… there is everything. We have a lot of work to do to come up with the best, but for the moment I’m thrilled. I have to understand the tires well, understand how to work with the electronics, there are many new things to focus on, but the starting point is not bad “.
