Bassani will need to be even more compet💫itive than he’s already shown, which is something that could have cost him his WorldSBK future had he not impressed immediately in 2021. 

💦Having previously worked as a bricklayer and lumberjack, Bas🐼sani was without many options had he failed to deliver in the Superbike class.

In fact, the young Italian would have returned to working with his dad. Speaking to , Bassani said: "I would have go🍒ne home to work on a construction site with my dad. 

"I didn’t have many alternatives and it might even happen again in the future if I’m not competitive. Among other things I was also a brickla🥀yer in 2020, when there was Covid. 

"During the break from races I helped him make the mortar and cement. I 🐟remember that we also worked on Easter day. I also worked as a lumberjack beforehand. It’s not so bad to pick up a chainsaw," Bassani aꦆdded.

After coming through various Supertsock and Supersport championships, Bassani joined WorldSBK with just one ꦐfull season of WorldSSP racing und𒉰er his belt. 

Bassani also competed in four Moto2 races in 2017, failing t🌟o finish inside the top 20 on any of those occasions. 

However, it became clear very early on that the Italian would have a future in WorldSBK after claiming his first p🀅odium as a rookie.

Bassani then followed that up with another three podiums in 2023, which is a good return considering how many times Bautista, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea shared the top three positions.

Bassani rejects Yamaha WorldSBK move

At the end of last ⛎season Bassani was offered the chance to move from Ducati to Yamaha, however, the 23-year-old chose to remain with his current team due to the potential of the Panigale V4 R.

Talking of the Panigale V4 R, Ducati have introduced a brand new V4 R for 2023 which🌞 replaces the previous 2019 model. 

"The Ducati V4 is a great bike with fantastic potential," c♎ontinued Bassani. "I haven’t tried the new Panigale yet but I expect it to be smoother and less nervous of a bike in certain conditions."
