Enea Bastianini: "I need some time to be with those three"
Enea Bastianini has the number 23 on his fairing but this 2023 will remember it as a year full of bad luck
The three that Enea Bastianini refers to are teammate Pecco Bagnaia and fellow riders Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi.
He is the best of the current MotoGP generation, along with Fabio Quartararo: all born between 1997 and 1999, they are the most prominent riders, along with the 'old' Marc Marquez, born in 1993.
Enea Bastianini has the number 23 on his fairing, but this 2023 will remember it as a year full of bad luck, from the first corners of the Sprint, with the broken scapula and the long recovery to the injury at the first corner of the Barcelona race, which required him two operations.
How do you overcome bad luck? How do you look forward? Bastianini spoke of anger and disappointment, but also of the friends he trains with and what he did during the long days at home recovering from injuries: he watched his old races but also studied the races of others.
Enea Bastianini will turn 26 in December and is ready to return to the attack, he hopes in the last races of the year, but for sure, in 2024 in the official Ducati, where he has been reconfirmed.
