Enea Bastianini’s second win of the season sees the rider return to the top of the championship standings, his future already up for debate in the paddock. In truth, it already was, in that both he and Jorge Martin are eyeing a Ducati factory ride. But the red bike might not represent Enea’s future, and here’s why.
Pernat: “Enea won’t go to Honda”
At the end of the race, when Sky Sport MotoGP asked Enea’s manager, Carlo Pernat, whether Honda might be in his thoughts, he replied with a firm “no”: “Enea won’t go to Honda, he had a negative experience in Moto3 with team Monlau where he almost risked not being a rider anymore. Enea needs to stay with an Italian team, run by Italians”. And if his manager is so convinced, who might respond to this kind of statement? Well, Bastianini himself actually.
Bastianini: “I’m not ruling out any option for the future”
Post-race, the Gresini rider was also interviewed by Sky and told about Pernat’s comment re Enea needing an Italian team: “Well I think the Spaniards really helped me to grow”, he comments. “I had a good relationship with team Monlau in the end”. So might a future in Honda be a viable option ? “I don’t know if Honda is considering me but I wouldn’t say no on the spot. I’m not ruling anything out for now” he concludes.
