Bastianini’s🗹 relationship with new world champion Bagnaia will come under the microscope, with the graduate from Gresini Racing♌ harbouring his own lofty ambitions.

"I am aware of the risk o🔯f putting together two such strong riders,” Domenicali said.

“Pecco will want to beat Enea, who will want to prove to be the strongest.&nb🍸sp;

“But this energy is very impor💟tant and I am convinc🌱ed that the team has grown a lot in the ability to see the athlete as a person and to manage this difficulty.”

Ducati’s big decision to bring Bastianini in💞to their factory team next season, repla👍cing KTM-bound Miller, is a key change to the 2023 grid.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez will exit Hon🌠da and join Gresini, replacing Bastianini.
