168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini confessed that his rivals in pursuit of the 2025 Ducati seat are also worthy.

Bastianin𒅌i is into his second season as a factory Ducati rider but is in serious danger of being replaced next year.

With his contract expiring, and with te💞ammate and reigning champion Francesco Bagna🎀ia already locked into a long-term deal, Bastianini is vulnerable.

Pramac’s Jorge Martin and Gresini’s Marc Marquez 🅰both appear likelier to be ♛wearing red next year than Bastianini.

“It’s a difficult decision for Ducati because 🧜we are the top four in the championship,” Bastiani🅷ni said ahead of this weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP.

“P👍ecco already has the contract. It can be dif♎ficult, the decision.

“At the m𒁃oment, my situation is not bad. The Ducati is so fast on the track and has improved. Every year we add something.

“I can be a factory rider 🦋next year. But, also, I know the speed of other riders like Jorge and Marc.

“It will be complicated. Iౠ amඣ confident to stay here. But let’s see.”

If Bastianini is replaced, Ducat♓i know t♑hey might lose him altogether.

Two alternative options 💜were put to Bastianini in Barc🥃elona.

He said about Aprilia andꦏ KTM🐼: “It could be an option for the future.

“They have♋ progressed in the last fiv🐻e years and could be an option.”

Aprilia, in partic🌃ul🍨ar, have been credited with an interest in Bastianini.

Signing him woul♈d give them an🃏 Italian poster boy for their Italy-based brand.

And the retirement of Aleix Espargaro has now freed up room - and pu𝔉t pressure on Aprilia to attract a high-calibre rider to rep♓lace their captain.

A good🧸 performance this weekend i🐎n Barcelona would be good timing for Bastianini.

🍰He arrives joint-fourth with Marquez in the MotoGP standings after five rounds, 40 points behind leader Martin.

Bastianini has won in Barcelona in Moto3 but has never finishe𓆏d better than 10th in the premier class꧑.

Last 🥀y♚ear, he was involved in an incident moments before Bagnaia’s even scarier crash.

“I remember in 2022 I crashed, and last൲ year I committed a big mistake on Turn 1,” Bastianini recalled.

“It’s a strange race because the ꧅grip is too low. It’s impor🎶tant to have a good base on the set-up to work well.”
