The team Gresini for years he has also fought for the conquest of the world title in MotoGP by fielding hyper competitive Hondas entrusted for example to Sete Gibernau, Marco Melandri and Marco Simoncelli. In 2022 the structure of the late team manager returned to the premier class as an independent team and the conditions for another season at high altitude are all there.
Enea Bastianiniin fact, he was the fastest on the second and final day of testing at Sepang in Malaysia which concluded the first weekend of MotoGP winter tests. The world champion in Moto2 in 2020 stopped the clock at 1’58 ″ 131, the new record of the Sepang track. The rider from Rimini had anticipated yesterday that today he would focus on the time-attack, his great weakness in his debut season. He was up to his word: “I am very happy, it is certainly an unexpected record, no one in the team would have expected to be the fastest here in Malaysia, but they are only tests, even if obviously it is a performance that instills satisfaction and optimism. – explained Bastianini – in addition to the time trial, the positive note of the day is that we also worked profitably at the set-up level since when I went out on the track in the first laps I didn’t have the same positive feelings as yesterday, but we managed to fix the bike in a short time effectively “.
The Ducati rider is perfectly at ease with the GP-21, enhanced by the fast track of Sepang: “I had never ridden here with the MotoGP and I immediately felt good, the bike looks perfect. Now let’s go to Mandalika and it will be important to see if we can be fast there too on a completely new circuit for everyone. It would be an excellent signal for the championship. I am perfectly happy with the team, the Ducati technicians are the same as last year and as mechanics I found the ones I had at the time of my Moto3 debut “.
