168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini returns to Portimao this weekend, where his Ducati debut endꦑed in disaster♒.

A year ago at the ‘23 season-opener, the new factory Ducati rider crashed🎐 ou🍌t of the first-ever sprint race.

A shouldꦺer injury cost Bastianini the chance to live up to expectation of being a championship coไntender.

"I'm happy to be back in Portimao for the first European race of the season,” he said about returning this weekend for the Portuguese MotoGP.

“It's an exceptional track,ꦡ and at the end of January, we trained here with the Panigale V4S.

“I have a sco♋re to settle with Portimao: I didn't race last year because of the injury I suffered after the c♛rash in the Sprint.

“The first GP of the se🔯ason in Qatar went well, but honestly, I expected to achieve something more, so I'll t💯ry to redeem myself this weekend."

Bastianini offered a reminder of his talents by winning the Malaysian MotoGP at the end of last ♊year.

Injury-free, his 2024 began with a fif🍌th-placed finish in Qatar.

But the heat is on Bastianini to challenge his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia for the tit💧le, and to fend off J൲orge Martin’s bid for his factory seat in 2025.

Bagnaia won the Qatar MotoGP, and Martin won the sprint, setting the standard whꦗich Bastianini must battle against.

Reigning champion Bagnaia’s f🃏uture is secured after he pennܫed a long-term Ducati deal.

He remains the man to beat as h💖e aims for a third title in a row.

“I am happy to be back racing in Portug🅷al,” Bag🃏naia said.

“Portimao is a track I♋ like a lot, and where we have always been fast in the past.

“Last year, we won both the Sprint and Sunday🦩's GP.

“We have the potential to do well again this year, but it won't be eaꦉsy: I expect a lot of opponents capable of fighting for victory and very fierce competition.

“In any case, we are ready. We wꦇill work as always from Friday to try to arrive as ready as possible for the two races."
