Both riders intend to race but only Bagnaia has any hope of arriving in optimum condition, Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi has s🅘aid.

"I'm 🌊quite convinced that for Mugello he will be 100%, so he will be one of the protagonists,” Tardozzi said about Bagnaia.

The reigning MotoGP champion fractured his ankle in the French MotꦰoGP after 🔴colliding with Maverick Vinales.

He has benefitted from the long gap between races so is expected to be fit a𓂃t Mugello, the home grand pri꧅x for both the rider and his team.

Bagnaia sits atop th𓃲e MotoGP standings, a point ahead of Marco Bezzecchi.

Bagnaia’s teammate Bastianini still will not be at pe𝔉ak condition, however.

He underwent a private ꦡtest on a Panigale since Le Mans, and the feedback is that is able to race at Mugello, albeit at less than 100%.

"Bastianini was quite fast after a 🌞long ti🙈me without getting on the bike,” Tardozzi said. 

“It is clear that he is still not well physically. His shou🌟lder didn't cause him any pain, but the lack of stren❀gth still created some small problems. 

"I hope he regains a little more strength🥀 in his right shoulder. I think, if it goes well, ꦬit will be at 80%."

Bastianini’s start to l🎉ife as a factory Ducati rider got off to the worst possible start when he broke a shoulder blade in the first-ever sprint race on the opening weekend of 2023.

He attempted a comeback 🃏at Jerez but withꦬdrew after experiencing too much pain during Friday’s practice session.

Bastianini was tipped to fight for the championship before the season got underway, and his relationship with Bagnaia was set to come under the microscope, but instead he has been forced onto the 🍷sidelines.

Mugello could be the true start of Bastianini’s caree🍌r as a factory Ducati ri𓃲der.
