Enea Bastianini: “My approach is not correct” to KTM MotoGP bike
“It’s not natural for me and, at the momen🌺t, I can’t be very fast like Pedro…”

The end of the 2025 MotoGP winter testing period seems to have come too soon for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini, who feels he still has to adapt his style to the KTM RC16 he has moved to from Ducati f🐈or this year.
The Italian ended the 2025 MotoGP preseason in Buriram feeling like he’d made progress, but also like there was much moꦜre margin for him t🎉o improve.
“Ove𓆏rall, I’m a bit happier than [Wednesday], because this afternoon I improved a bit my lap time,” Bastianini said after the final day of MotoGP pr🥂eseason testing in Buriram.
“About my pace, I’m not very happy at the moment because I committed many mistakes during my laps – sometimes I can’t brake 🥃hard, sometimes yes, and at the moment I don’t know very well the situation.
“For the race we have to ꦛdo something more, to understand better.
“Now, it’s important this p🦩eriod [between the test and the race] to study better the data and to learn, because the bike is different and my approach at the moment is not corr𒅌ect.”
Enea Bastianini explains 'the problem'
Bastianini said he and his crew chief – Alberto Giribuola, who prev๊iously worked with Bastianini at the Avintia and Gresini Ducati teams – have tried to use solutions that worked when Bastianini was aboard the Desmosedici, but, in the end, it has been Pedro Acosta’🐽s settings that have proven more beneficial.
“The problem is that we have brought the direction of when we were in Ducati, and with this bike [it doesn’t work],” the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Tech3 KTM rider said.
“I tried to do some corn❀er speed, but Pedro [Acosta] does c🅰ompletely the opposite riding style – he stops the bike and restarts.
“We have tried a bit💛 his setup and it’s worked well, I stayed much faster, and probably the approach of this bike is this one.
“But it’s not natural for me and, a﷽t the moment, I can’t be very fast like Pedro.”
He added: “It’s not natural, because after [learning] a lot from other bikes and to come to this one it’s not easy, but at the end I did a good lap,” ไhe said.
“ I wasn’t at 100 per cent, because 𓆉for me at the moment it’s not important♓ to go to 100 per cent, but the lap time was more or less good.”
Finally, Bastianini conceded ꩲthat his “approach” needs to change if he is to succeed on the RC16.
“The approach has to be different, because the bike works very different and it’s ne🔯cessary to ⛦adapt to another style,” he said.
“Also, when you have the new tyre, and when you [go back to] the used one, the bike changes completely and you have to u♑se another style again.
“I didn’t do a Sprint s💯imulation today because I had some problem of vibration, but I think it will be lik🐬e this in the race – it will be complicated.”
