The factory Ducati𝓰 rider is fully fit for the first time this season and could be a factor for MotoGP wins heading down the stretch.

Ducati also has the most complete package on the💦 grid, which should help Bastianini in his q👍uest to achieve such results.

• British MotoGP, Silverstone ☂- Friday Practice (1) Results 
• Bezzecchi leads all-Ducati t🌱op four at Silverstone, Bastianini crashes on in-lap

But one rider and team that appears to be very far away from such results are Honda and Marquez, with the eight-time world champion ཧs♌truggling to stay aboard his machine when pushing anywhere near the limit.

That led Bastianini to give his though💖ts about Marquez’s current situation, after the pair had a run-in during the Dutch Grand Prix weekend, prio🍷r to the summer break. 

Bastianini said: "Ducati is now the reference for all the💞 factories and Marc, at the moment, is suffering a lot with t🔴his bike. 

"The Honda is so nervous at the𝔍 moment and it’s difficult to put the bike on the limit. Ducati is the bike🌳 that all the people can be fast with at the moment. 

"We have seen a lot of different styles an✨d the Ducati is efficient rꦛegarding this. 

"It’s probably because all the rider🍬s are competitive but also the bike i🌱s easier to put on the limit. We have worked a lot [for this] in the past, even in the past when I was at Avintia."

Regarding his own performances, Basജtianini could play a role in the title fight later this season, although remaining fit wꦍill be key to him having success.

After a broken right shoulder at the season-opener, Bastianini🌞 has now recovered and is raring to go.

Bastianini was speaking prior to FP1 at Silverstone, a session in which he 🎀suffered a highside during his in-lap. 

The Italian added: "When I arrived here I was so happy. My approach has been a disaster from the first race because of the crash. The recovery has been so, so long and this summer break was the key for my🔥 second part of the season. 

"Now I’m mentally and physically ready to see how fast I can be in this team. At the moment, every race I was su🐓ffering and now the shoulder is o💫kay."
