My big Ducati regret - “sometimes I didn’t rise to the situation”
"Ups and downs" of Ducati tenure assessed

Enea Bastianini has admitted one big regret from his stint at Ducati.
In 2025 Bastianini will leave behind his factory Ducati seat to Marc Marquez, and will head to KTM’s revamped Tech3 pꦕroject.
It brings to an end his two-ye🐻ar period in Ducati’s official team which never lived up to its fullꦺ potential.
"I will certainly take away a lot൩ of experience,” Bastianini told .
“Let's say that they have been four very good years, with ups a💧nd downs.
“Sometimes, if you want, we can say that I didn't r🥂ise to the situation, so I have so many things to reproach m▨yself for.
“But there were al🧸so many joys and I experienced m🐻any beautiful moments.”
Bastianini won seven 🐽grands♏ prix and two sprint races on the Ducati.
In 2022, for Gresini, he won the second-most amount of races behind champion Pecco Bagnaia which earned hi༒m a promotion, above Jorge Martin, into the factory team.
But his ൲2023 was ruined by a major shoulder injury suffered at the 🦂very first round.
Mid-way through this season, his bike was already bein🔯g touted for Martin or Marquez in 2025.
Bastianini has committed to KTM for next year, alongside Maverick Vinales in the Te🐼ch3 team which will have factory material.
"At the beginning it won't be easy to change bike๊s after all this time, to change everything a bit,” Bastianini said.
“But I believe that there is a good future waiting for me and thatꦜ I can be competitive, after having a str🦹ong teammate like Pecco, who has made me grow a lot from different points of view.
“But the same goes for Jorge and Marc, who gave me a hard time and made me grow. I feel lik♛e a better rider and I hope I can prove it.”
