Aeneas Bastianini was certainly one of the great protagonists of the 2021 MotoGP season. The Italian rookie was unable to hit the ‘title’ reserved for rookies, but he showed himself in the saddle of a two-year-old Ducati, taking home two podiums – both on the home track at Misano – and many placings in top-10. Now for the new year, with the ‘updated’ and spearheading bike of the Gresini team, the goal is to raise the bar of expectations, perhaps even dreaming of the first career victory in the queens class. Speaking to the press on the occasion of the presentation of the team, the 2020 Moto2 world champion certainly did not hide.
“The new colors of the bike are really special – commented the 24-year-old from Rimini, who was impressed like everyone else by the new livery – when I saw it for the first time it really had a strange effect on me, but now that I see it live it is fantastic. Such a beautiful bike can only go fast. In about twenty days we will leave for tests, fortunately, very little is missing, because I’m energized and can’t wait to get back on my Ducati. With the team we have already got to know each other and to work together during the first test, and I can say that I have a fantastic team. I think it will be a very interesting season, I am convinced that we will achieve great results. I can not wait to start”.
Great curiosity, of course, is also around Bastianini’s new box mate, the rookie Fabio Di Giannantonio. “I expect a great season – commented the Roman, just promoted from Moto2 – it will be cool. I will have to learn a lot, I expect to grow race after race and maybe we can also take away some satisfaction. Soon we are back on track for testing, we go to Malaysia and then to Indonesia. Can’t wait to get this beautiful beast back. Winter is always too long, I’m counting the days, the hours. Then the bike is wonderful, perhaps the most beautiful I’ve ever ridden, the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. With this one main color it looks a bit like a 70s motorcycle, retro style, for sure we will be recognizable on the track. Very special, very original, beautiful. A unique emotion “.
