Ducati: Enea Bastianini given ‘carte blanche’ until Francesco Bagnaia needs help in MotoGP title fight

Bastianini, who signed for the factory team following a stunning 2022 season with Gresini Ducati, has seen his 💧first campaign alongside MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia affected by an ongoing shoulder𒅌 injury.
After being knocked off his Ducati by Luca Marini in the inaugural MotoGP sprint at Portimao, Bastianini tried to make a r๊apid return from a broken shoulder at Jerez, only for the Italian to end his p🌳articipation during Practice 3.

Bastianini the꧑n missed last weekend’s 1000th Grand Prix at Le Mans, as Ducati pair Marco Bezzecch❀i and Jorge Martin went on to win the main race and the sprint.
Speaking on the GPOne.com podcast - Bar꧅ Sport - Tardozzi said💦 this about Bastianini’s expected return at Mugello next month.
"We strongly hope that Enea will return at Mugello, it’s almosܫt certain, but we will decide after the last check he will do on the Monday bef🌟ore the Italian Grand Prix.
"He won’t be 100% because the problem with 𓃲the scapula is very complicated. It involves nerves and muscles. I believe and hope that he can race and score some points."
Should Bastianini complete the race weekend and score points, the former Moto2 champion is still likely to be facing a deficit in th🧸e standings of close to 100 points, or more.
And with Bagnaia clearly in a title fight against the likes of Bezzecchi and Brad Binder, as it currently staꦐnds, giving his new teammate a helping hand as the season goes oಌn could be required.
Tardozzi added:🌜 "Enea’s gap after Mugello will be a very big one, certainly over 100 points, so we will have the rigღht and duty to bring home as many points as possible until the end of the year.
"Then, in the last few races we’ll see how the cha🦄mpionship will look and we will understand if it will be right to ask Enea to lend a hand to Pecco. Until then, Bastianini 𓂃will have a carte blanche."
