168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini confessed that his rivals in pursuit of the 2025 Ducati seat are also worthy.

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

With his contract expiring, a🅷nd with teammate and reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia already locked into a long-term deal, Bastianini🍰 is vulnerable.

Pramac’s Jorge Martin and Gresini’s Marc Marquez bo🔴th 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,” Bastianini said ahead of this weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP.

“Pecco already has th⛦e contract. It can be difficult, the decision.

“At the moment, my situation is not bad. The Ducati is so fast on the track and has improved. Every year we ad⛎d something.

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

“It will be complicated. I am confident to stay here. But𝕴 let’s see.”

If Bastianini i🐲s replaced, Ducati know they might lose him altogether.

Two alternative options were put to Bastianini i🔜n Barcelona.

He said about Aprilia and KTM: “It could be ꩵan option foℱr the future.

“They have progressed in t♊he last five years and could be an option.”

Aprilia, in particular, have been credited🦩 with an inter𒊎est in Bastianini.

Signing him would give them an Italian poster boy for their Italy-based brand🅠.

And the retirement of Aleix Espargaro has now freed up room - and put 𒆙pressure on Aprilia to attract a high-calibre rider to replace their captain.

A good performance🐽 this weekend in 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 finished better than 10th i𒆙n the premier class.

Last year, he🐲 was involved 💝in an incident moments before Bagnaia’s even scarier crash.

“I remember in 2022 I crashed, and last year I committed a big mistake on Turn 1,” Bastianin𝄹i recalled.

“It’s a strange race because the grip is too low. It’s important to have a good base on the set-up to work♈ wel𒐪l.”
