The MotoGP paddock continues to praise the successes of Enea Bastianini after his display at the GP of the Americas, the second victory in the four races held this year. The Gresini rider amazes with his charisma and potential on the Ducati, and so much so that riders like Jack Miller acknowledge wanting to copy his style.
For Fabio Quartararo, the chances of the Italian from Gresini Racing are real, as he is currently the most complete rider for the Ducati manufacturer. “[I consider it] really serious [as a title contender] because last year he was super fast,” the reigning 2021 champion said.
“He has a different style to the others, but we have to take him seriously because the way he rides the bike is unbelievable.”
Quartararo believes that Enea Bastianini is reaching the perfect stage to reach a high level in MotoGP: “For me, his current situation is not really a surprise, because he lacked consistency last year, which is normal for a rookie”.
“Honestly, I didn’t expect him to be the best Ducati rider, but everything has changed. Before the race in Austin I knew he was going to win, because you can see the confidence he has in himself and his bike, so I’m kind of surprised. “.
The fact that Enea Bastianini has achieved Ducati ‘s best results without having the latest bike has come as a bit of a surprise in recent weeks, but Fabio Quartararo considers it “normal” that a new model needs some development time to catch up with the old one.
“It ‘s normal, sometimes the new bike takes a lot longer [to express its potential], so in the early part of the season the 21 is better, and the 22 will catch up later in the year. I don’t have a idea, but I think it’s more Bastianini who makes the difference than the bike”, concluded the reigning MotoGP world champion.
