Less efficient than at the start of the season since the return of the Grands Prix to Europe, Enea Bastianini will try to reverse the trend at Le Mans this weekend.
Enea Bastianini’s 2022 season is quite atypical. Either it dominates the competition, as in Losail (1st) and Austin (1st), or it is behind, as in Mandalika (11th), Termas de Río Hondo (10th), Portimao (fall) and Jerez (8th). Jerez, where he lacked something to be competitive, before specifying that “the championship will be long”. Next step around the corner: the French Grand Prix, at Le Mans.
“Le Mans is a rather unusual circuit, but nevertheless very good. Usually track and track conditions are a key variable, but hopefully it will be different this time”, introduces Enea Bastianini. He finished 14th in the French race last year, contested in mixed conditions. This is his only participation in MotoGP.
What can he expect this weekend? “I would like to find this feeling with the bike that we lost a bit in Jerez. Let’s say, going back to the feeling we had in Portimao, where only the result was not good for us.wishes the Gresini driver.
Championship leader at the end of the overseas tour, Enea Bastianini gave way to Fabio Quartararo at the Portuguese Grand Prix, then gave up a few more points in Spain. Currently third in the standings, he is 20 behind the French leader.
