On his return to action in Indonesia, Enea Bastianini matched his best result of the MotoGP season so far with an eighth-place finish. The Italian rider now faces the Australian GP with the aim of maintaining his good form.
In addition to recalling his strong performance in Phillip Island in 2022, the Ducati rider set the goal of continuing his good performance in Mandalika:
– I’m happy to be back racing at Phillip Island. This will be my second time at this track on a MotoGP bike. Last year, I started from the back, but halfway through the race, I was able to make a good comeback and finish fifth. The goal this weekend will be to repeat a good performance like last weekend in Indonesia. We did a great job with my team, and I had a good race. The goal is to be fast immediately and get a good qualifying position. Physically, I’m still not 100%, but I’m ready to give my best as always.
