Enea Bastianini says Ducati was able to solve the rea✃r stability issues that had plagued him during the MotoGP Australian Gr☂and Prix weekend in time for the sprint.

The factory Ducati rider failed to get into the Q2 places after Friday practice and coul♉d only manage 10th when he advanced from Q1 on Saturday morning in qualifying.

But Bastianini was able to convert this into a run to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:third in the sprint, which includꦰed overtaking his world champion team-mate Fran🐬cesco Bagnaia in the latter stages.

A key issue for Bastianini at Phillip Island was movement on the rear of his GP24 on the new surface,ꩵ but knew from the sighting lap ahead of the sprint that he could “do a great race”.

“Yeah, I’m 🅘happy because it has been a bit unexpected ꦏthat podium in the sprint, because I suffered a lot during all the weekend with the rear,” he said.

“The main problem was t🐎he movements. But in the end, for the sprint, we♓ solved a bit that problem.

🌳“I saw that during the sighting lap, I understood ‘Ok, I can do a great race today’ and has been a fantastic ba♓ttle at the start, and also in the last three, four laps I was close to Marc [Marquez].

“But I was without this 0.1s, 0.2s more [to cha🎶llꦡenge him] and it was impossible to attack him.

“The new asphalt is not bad, but today the wind was toဣo strong.

“Also, in the race it was really difficult wheꦺn y🐬ou were alone.

“When you were in a gr🤪oup it was also difficult because on the straight the slipstream was a very, very bad situation with all the turbulence.

“But at the end, we know that Phillip Island is like this with the wind, with the bird🤡s. It’s good.”

Looking towards the grand prix, Bastianini isn’t convinced the soft rear tyre he used in the sprint is a viable option for Sunday and 🍬will look over Marco Bezzecchi’s data of the medium ꩵhe raced to better inform his decision.

“For me, no, because we have to check better the situation with ✱Michelin,” he said about racing the soft on Sunday.

“But probably the best situation𓃲 will be to use the medium tomorrow and we have the data of Marco, because he was with the꧙ medium on the rear in the sprint.

“In the end, he crashed, but we can che🐲ck something.”
