“We met some races ago, we✤ started talking,” Di Giannantonꦡio said. “I like him. He is super-precise, he knows what to do!

“Knowing that in the garage I have a guy who is super experienced, knows what he’s doing and has control of eve🌱rything? It is a huge help for my confidence.

“We have already spoken about proper training to improve my skill and to better each ඣother.

“I think what we’ve been missing is ex🎶perience - work 𓂃in the box. Having closer people to me, as a rookie. It was not helping.

“I was against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo, the manufacturers - it was tough.”

Bastianini has fought tooth and nail at ti🌠mes with future teammate Bagnaia, who could become world champion this weekend if he edges Quartararo.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez will replace Bastianini, alongside Di Giannantonio, in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up.

“He is coming from a Honda bike. We have a good relationship. It is like a family - working together for the benefit of the riders and theꦯ team.

“In MotoGP, if you find your bi♑ke in the beginning, it is easier. Quartararo found his perfect bike🦋. It is always a gamble - the right place, the right bike…

“With this 𝔉bike we can win races like Enea is doing.

“Our generation is really strong. We have the potentia꧙l to fight for win𓆏s and podiums.

“I love to ha🏅ve a really strong teammate because we can grow together and it gives me motivation.

“It sometimes helps to have t♎he stronger rider on🏅 track next to you.

“Enea is🅠 a friend, we speak a lotಞ, the two sides of the garage talk a lot. It is a help to have him next to me.

“He shows me that it is possible. Enea and I figh😼t on the track.”
