168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini confessed that his rivals in pursuit of the 2025 Ducati seat are also worthy.

Bastianini is into his seconꦬd season as a factory Ducati rider but is in🍌 serious danger of being replaced next year.

With his contract expiring, and with teammate and reigning champion Francesco Bagna🧜ia already locked into a long-term deal, Bastianini is vulnerable.

Pramac’s Jorge Martin and G🌺resini’s Marc Marquez both appear likelier to be wearing red next year than Bastianini.

“It’s a difficult decision for Ducati because we a𝓰re ꦅthe top four in the championship,” Bastianini said ahead of this weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP.

“Pecco already hℱas the contract. It can be difficult,💙 the decision.

“At the moment, my situation is not bad. The Ducati is so fast on the t𝕴rack and has improved. Every year we add something.

“I can be a factory rider next ye൩ar. But, also, I know the speed of other ride🅺rs like Jorge and Marc.

“It will be ℱcomplicated. I am confident to stay here. But let’s see.”

If Bastianini is replaced, Ducati know they might lose him altogethe📖r.

Two alternativ♓e option❀s were put to Bastianini in Barcelona.

He said about Aprilia and KTM: “It could be an option for 💞the future.

“They have 𒐪progressed in the last five years and c🦂ould be an option.”

Aprilia, in particular, have been credited with an interest𒐪ꦇ in Bastianini.

Signing him would give them an Italian poster boy for their Italy-based bran෴d.

And the retirement of Aleix Espargaro has now freed up room - and put pressure on Aprilia to attract a high-calibre rᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚider to replace their captain.

A good performance this weekend in Barcelona would be good timing for꧋ Bastianini.

He arrives joint-fourth with Marquez in the MotoGP standings after five rounds, 40 points behind 🍰leader🅷 Martin.

Bastianini has won in Barcelona in Moto3 but has 🌳never finished better than 10th in the premier class.

Last year, he was involved in an incid🐼ent moments befo🅰re Bagnaia’s even scarier crash.

“I ไremember in 2022 I crashed, and last year I🌌 committed a big mistake on Turn 1,” Bastianini recalled.

“ꦇIt’s a strange race because the grip is too low. It’s important to have a good base on the set-up to work well.”
