However, Bastianini’s career could have taken a much different path had he not continued beyond 2017 when he competed inꦦ Moto3.

Sixth in the championship that season, 💖Bastianini recently opened up about his struggles six years ago during an interview on♌ the ‘Experiment 36’ podcast which is created by Red Bull.

Bastianini said: "In 🧔2017 I thought for the first time about stopping racing. I wasn't feeling well, I couldn't be fast, at Mugello I started crying. It wa▨s the worst moment of my life."

With that said, Bastianini turned tears of pain into tears of joy during a breathtaking performa꧂nce at the 2022 season-opener in Qatar, which is the last time we’ve seen him show such emotion🎉.

Bastianini added: "The last time I crie🍃d in front of someone was in Qatar, when I won my fir🧸st MotoGP race."

Since 💯Mugello 2017, Bastianini has gone on to become a Moto2 world champion, MotoGP race winner and now a factory Ducati rider alongside♉ Bagnaia.

And while his talent has taken over to achieve such results, the Italian was also kee🌊n to thank those who have 💎been through his hardest moments with him. 

"The most important people for my growth have been my father and my mother, they have always supported me a lot since I started competing and have never doubted my potential," continued Bast♌ianini. 

"Love plays a very important role in my life, because to get where you wan🌊t to go you need people who loveཧ you. 

"First of all there is my family and my girlfriend, but friends 🥃are also cﷺrucial."
