Enea Bastianini gained an incredible ten places during the American MotoGP in order to secure a third c💯onsecutive top six finish.&nbs🐽p;

Bastiani✅ni, who had shown great pace in free practice, was unable to replicate that form in qualifying after finishing 16th.

But just as he did in Arago🌞n and especially Misano, the Italian began to make his wa💙y forward just before mid-race distance. 

The MotoGP rookie got through on the likes of Andrea Dovizioso, fellow rookie and team-mate Luca Marini, Alex Marquez, Brad Binder and Pol Espargaro before clos💜ing in on Jack Miller and Joan Mir. 

It looked as though Bastianini, after having caught the pair with a couple of laps to g𒈔o, would instead need to settle for eighth, however, a desperate lunge by Mir at turn 15 pushed he and Miller wide, which therefore gave Bastianini an 𒁃easy double overtake. 

Speaking after cl🌊inching sixth place, Bastianini said: "My feeling was really nice! I’m very happy about my race. 

"Yesterday was a really di🀅ffi🍎cult day for me because we modified a bit the set-up for qualifying which was so-and-so. 

"But today I have improved again to be fast and then in tꩲhe race I was fast.

"I have gained ten positions during all the race and this result is fantastic for me, for the team, for everybody. It was another unexp𝓡ected result."

Despite the recent up-turn in form, Bastianini also detailed the difficulties of being a MotoGP rookie as ‘I have more electronics and moไre tyres’ to focus on than in Moto2.  &nbs♊p;

"Well, I’m a rookie and it’s not easy to arrive in MotoGP, also it’s so difficult to work in every zone of the bike,"🤡 added Ba🦋stianini. 

"I have more electronics and more tyres than in Moto2, so it’s more d♋ifficult in this category. 

"But in the last three races since Silverstone and Aragon I have done a good step and no💎w I’m more competitive in every race."
