The third practice session at the Indonesian Mandalika circuit officially closed the program pre-season tests MotoGP, with the latter officially starting the next appointment in Qatar, scheduled for March 6. In fact, on the Losail track the green light for the 2022 world championship will light up, in which he is also ready to participate Enea Bastianini. The Gresini team rider, while waiting for the first race of the season, has meanwhile commented on the tests carried out so far in Indonesia, also giving a general report of the previous test in Malaysia, at the Sepang circuit.
The 24-year-old from Rimini is so ready for his second year in MotoGP, that he approaches with positive feelings: “It was interesting evidence – Bastianini analyzed – we kept getting to know this bike and I found myself very well, both during the Sepang tests and here in Mandalika. Now we are ready for Qatar: here in Mandalika we worked more on the setup, while in Malaysia we just wanted to do a few kilometers. We already had a good base, and I’d say we’ve improved a number of aspects as well. In Indonesia, moreover, we also tried to understand the behavior of the tires, because it was difficult to understand which was better between medium and soft. We have always been fast, and we have often occupied the top of the table. In Malaysia I was 1st, and here too we went strong in the time attack. Today we tried to do km with used tires to try to understand my race pace, which was good. Finally we are approaching Qatar, with the goal of hitting the top-5 in the race. I really like the track there and we can do well, also because the team is in good shape “.
Satisfied too Fabio Di Giannantonioa few thousandths from the other rookie Marco Bezzecchi: “It has been a positive pre-season for us. We have improved a lot on the Ducati and we have succeeded day after day. Today we also did a race simulation and we are very satisfied. We are still in the early days of school and there is a lot of motivation and desire. Compared to Sepang, where we lost a few days, we have taken an important step and we have to keep our feet on the ground and think about taking one step at a time. Qatar is close here and now it will be three weeks of waiting that are difficult to overcome ”.
