168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini can equal his personal-best of finishing third in the MotoGP championship at this weekend’s finale.

He is a single point behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez, who is third, heading into the Barcelona round.

Bastianini was third in 2022, as a Gresin🤡i rider, but insists that equalling the result would represent a greater achievement this year.

“It is motivation. For Marc, it🍌’s nothing. But for me? It’s impo🔯rtant,” Bastianini insisted.

“Because I have won only one꧂ title, Marc has won eight.

ℱ“It will be good to fight with him. At this track, he is rea𝔉lly fast. But I am ready to fight.

“Probably, this one would be more important [than 2022] because I am fighting with on🍨e of the biggest riders in this sport. I am fighting with Marc.

“Also, we🍰 are so close to ar꧑rive in front and win that fight.”

Bastianini's last race for Ducati

Bastianini is entering his final MotoGP round as a ღfactory Ducati rider.

His two-year spell will end on Sunday before he joins the Tec꧑h3 KTM team in 2025, due to being replaced by Marquez in Ducati’s offi🌳cial team.

Jorge Martin will also leave the Ducati stꦕable and join Aprilia after his title-decider with Pecco Bagnaia.

It means Martin and Bastianini co🍨uld feasibly edge Bagnaia and Marquez, the eschewed duo beating the favoured pair.

Bastianini smiled: “It will be stran🔯ge, probably, for the team…”

His best memories in red?

Bastianini ignored his injury-ruined debut year in red: “Not 2023! But t💛he rest? Every year gave me different motivation.

“In 2021 I start🅠ed with a difficult bike but in Misano I brought in to the podium.

“I wo꧒n for the first time in Qatar with Gresi🐻ni, which was a fantastic championship for me, the best one.

“In 2024 I have been consistent, always at the front fighting for someth💝ing good.

“But I was without explosiveness. I have to try to be 🌄more explosive in the future.”
