Ducati clarify Enea Bastianini’s 2024 role despite injury-hit debut year

“W🔜ඣe confirmed officially that Enea will be with us next year too,” team manager David Tardozzi said.
“He deserves another year with the factory bike because of wh🗹at he has done in the past.”
The confirmation during the Catalunya MotoGP is another piece of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2024 MotoGP rider line-up.
There was little doubt that Bastianini would stay, and he was always 🉐contracted for 2024, but Tardozzi’s words will ease any lingering pressure on him.
Bastianini earned ꦅthe step-up from Gresini Racing to the factory team after becoming the rider with the second-most amount of race wins in 🌸2023.
But his s♎eason has been interrupted by a shoulder injury sustained in the first-ever sprint race, on the opening wee💮kend at Portimao.
Even since returning, he has bee🦄n slowly regaining strength and his best result so far 🐟has been eighth.
But Ducati will keep faith in him next season despite the ob💙vious competiꦯtion on the grid to acquire one of their dominant bikes.
