A double Ducati winner at Silverstone last season, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini branded the 2025 British MotoGP as “probably the worst race of my career”.

Struggling since pre-season test🌠in🐼g to make his multi-race winning riding style work on the RC16, Bastianini called for help from KTM “because like this it's impossible to continue.”

After 15th place in the 🔯Silverstone Sprint, the Italian crossed the line 17th in the grand prix,♑ having served a long lap penalty from Le Mans.

The Beast - who considered pulling in and retiring - was 38-seconds behind race ༺winner Marco Bezzecchi.

A 16✅-second post-race tyre pressure penalty didn’t alter the ꦑItalian’s result.

The only riders behind Bastianini were injured LCR rookie Somkiat C༺hantra and Aprilia stand-in Lorenzo Savadori, who also received penalties.

Bastianini's fastest lap was 2.1s slower than Bezze🔯cchi and 1.5s behind the fastest KTM of Pedro Acosta, who🙈 had been dissatisfied with sixth.

“To♏ be honest, the weekend did not start very well and finish💎ed worse!” Bastianini said.

“It's been a very complicated day because I tried to do something on the bike, but nothing, it’s impossible for🦹 me to push.

“The race has been complicated also on the straight because it was too difficult for me to keep the throttlꦗe [open] because the front was felt light and was closing many times on the straight.

“It has been very frustrating. Probably the worst race of my c🐎areer.

“I think mﷺany times to go into the box during the race, but at the end I finished the race for everybody. For me, for the team.

“But to be honest, I'm not happy about anything.”

Looking ahead to Aragon, Bastianini made a plea for more technical sup♊port from KTM.

“At 🔴the moment I'm the worst rider on the track. Here last year I won two times and it’s impossible to be ‘last’ this year.

“I think KTM need to do something foജr me for my futur💃e, because like this it’s impossible to continue.”

Although Bastianini and his crew tried various set-ups at Silverstone: “At the end the bike don't🌼 turn and the electronics not work. This is the problem.

“We can brak𒅌e hard, but at this track and today with that strong wind, It was not a strongest point.  

“Le𝔍 Mans was good because we had many stop and go corners and we were more competitive, but here no.”

Bastianini - whose 2024 Silverstone Sprint winning race time was 3.7s faster tha𝓀n Alex Marquez in 2025 -  has a best KTM finish of seventh at COTA.

Team-mate Maverick Vinales finished in eleventh 𒆙place, 11s from Bezzecch𝄹i.
