Enea Bastianini gained 🔴an incredible ten places during the American MotoGP in order to secure a third consecut💜ive top six finish. 

Bastianini, whꦗo had shown great pace in free pr𒀰actice, was unable to replicate that form in qualifying after finishing 16th.

But just as he did inꦍ Aragon and especially Misano, the Italian began to make his way forward just before mid-race distance. 

The MotoGP rookie got through on the likes of Andrea Dovizioso, fellow rookie and team-mate Luca Marini, Alꦓex Marquez, Brad Binder and Pol Espargaro before closing in on Jack Miller and Joan Mir. 

It looked as thou⛎gh Bastianini, after having caught the pair with a couple of laps to go, would instead need to settle for eighth, however, a desperate lunge by Mir at turn 15 pushed he and Miller wide, which therefore gave Bastianini an easy double overtake. 

S♌peaking after clinching sixth place, Bastianini said: "My💧 feeling was really nice! I’m very happy about my race. 

"Yesterday was a really difficult day for me because we modified a bit the set-upཧ for qualifying which was so-and-so. 

"But today I hav🍎e improved a❀gain to be fast and then in the race I was fast.

"I have gained ten positions during a📖ll the race and this result is fantastic for me, for the team, for everybody. It was an꧑other unexpected result."

Despite the recent upꦺ-turn in form, Bastianini also detailed the difficulties of being a MotoGP rookie as ‘I have more electronics and more tyres’ to focus on than in Moto2.   

"Well, I’m a rookie and it’s not easy to arrive in MotoGP, also it’s so difficult to work in every zone of the bike," added B﷽astian🐷ini. 

"I have more electronics and more tyreꦚs than in Moto2, so it’s more difficult in this category. 

"But in the last three races since Silverstone and Aragon I have done a good step and now I’ﷺm more competitive in every race."
